MOSCOW, May 25 (Reuters) - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said several magnetic mines had been detected on a tanker in Russia's Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, the Interfax news agency reported on Monday.
The news agency said the mines were found on the hull of the tanker called Arrhenius, which arrived from Belgium's port of Antwerp for liquefied petroleum gas.
According to LSEG ship tracking data, the tanker is Liberia- flagged and is managed by the Maple Mariner Holding in the UAE.
The news agency cited a spokeswoman for Russia's Investigative Committee as saying that the mines were produced at one of the NATO's countries.
The mines were deactivated, she said.
