Special services from the Russian Emergency Ministry are examining barges that sank in the Baltic Sea during WWII to find unexploded shells. Exposed to salty water and sea storms, the explosives continue to deteriorate becoming increasingly hazardous. Specialists at the Northwest Department of the Russian Emergency Ministry’s Emergency Rescue Service locate shells using mine detectors and remotely operated underwater devices; old mines and bombs are then delivered onshore to be disposed of by specialists in the Kaliningrad Region.
