Bad Doberan (dpa / mv) - A 250-kilogram sea mine went into a network on New Year's Day in the Baltic Sea off Heiligendamm.

The skipper of the German fishing cutter alerted the authorities, the state water protection police office in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania announced on Friday.

Photo and video recordings of the so-called anchor towers were forwarded to the ammunition recovery service for assessment.

He found that there was no longer a detonator on the mine.

Therefore, the fishing cutter was allowed to call at its berth in the port of Kühlungsborn.

The anchor mine, which still contained 150 kilograms of explosives, was recovered there.
