Instantly, a suggestion appeared that those were containers with chemical weapons, and they looked like ones, indeed. Another variant was that it is some sort of a "conventional" trap against the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
However, it turned out to be preparations for the shooting of a propaganda movie, according to the latest reports. The explosives used were naval mines, most likely the MYaM contact mines.
According to the spokesperson of the Odesa region military administration Serhii Bratchuk, 24 tonnes of TNT were buried under ground in total. Considering that a single MYaM carries about 20 kg of explosive, the total number of mines exceeds 1,200 units.
