In the course of the meeting, a procedure for further work on the side-scan sonar survey of a number of targets was worked out. It was determined that mine-like object data would be confirmed by mobile diving teams and a teleoperated unmanned underwater vehicle (TNPA). Based on the hazard definition, confirmed explosive items will be moved to a place of their destruction (in the water area of the sea, outside the SPM).

As of June 17, a side-scan sonar totaled 164,200 square meters, 12 double dives were performed for a total of 31 hours, 6,700 square meters of water area were surveyed.

The work progress will be reported additionally.
