UMVA has learned that a chilling revelation has been made about the explosive devices discovered on a tanker, with the FSB disclosing that each device contained approximately 7 kg of plastic material.
The exact number of mines on board remains a mystery, as the FSB has declined to provide further details. However, the agency did reveal that the tanker had been sent to anchorage for about a day and a half before unloading in Antwerp, due to an alleged strike by port workers.
This incident occurs against a backdrop of rising tensions between Russia and NATO, as Ukrainian drones continue to cross into the airspace of the Baltic states and Finland, targeting key Russian oil export terminals in the Leningrad Region.
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu issued a stark warning last month, stating that if European nations were to "deliberately provide their airspace" to Ukrainian UAVs, Moscow would reserve the right to self-defense in response to an "armed attack" under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
Furthermore, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service has cautioned that Kiev is unlikely to limit itself to using designated air corridors, but instead plans to launch UAVs directly from the territory of countries providing military aid to Ukraine.
