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.

The Russians did it, but they're going to blame North Korea
