An explosive device detonated near Kobleve in the Black Sea off Ukraine's Mykolaiv Oblast on August 7, resulting in one fatality and two injuries, according to the regional military administration. The victim was a 45-year-old man who was in the water at the time of the explosion. Two women, aged 47 and 63, were injured after being on the shore.
The injured women - one 47-year-old and one 63-year-old - received medical attention at the scene and later, the 63-year-old was hospitalized in a moderate condition.
