The Greek ship Himara is sunk in the Aegean with nearly 400 dead, likely from a mine, highlighting ongoing mine dangers in coastal waters. The International Mine Clearance Authority based in London says at least 78 British vessels have sunk since V-E Day, and two British destroyers struck mines off Albania in a notable incident.
