Normal shipping in the Varna area was briefly suspended after a report of a suspected floating mine. The suspicious object was spotted 400 meters away from the coast, north of the mouth of the Kamchia River and the Navy in Varna was on alert.

The on-duty helicopter was dispatched to the scene and its crew recognized an anchored plastic tube that usually marks a fishing net. Normal shipping was immediately restored.
