Interesting, I first thought it was a WW2 mine that broke free of its anchor chain but who knows.


EDIT: Further reading makes me believe it was a old mine that broke free of its chain.

Just after 8 p.m. local time, the decades-old mine was detonated, sending water rushing up into the air.
Best and safest way to deal with them.
