Croatian authorities detonate WWII anti-ship mine.

Croatian authorities have safely destroyed a 1,500-pound anti-ship mine from World War II that was buried in the seabed near the northern Adriatic Sea port of Rijeka. The mine was discovered last June and was positioned too close to the city, requiring it to be moved further away before the controlled detonation. The operation involved 24 people and great care was taken to ensure the safety of citizens and infrastructure.
