    "A routine survey exercise of the Milford Haven waterway has uncovered a World War II naval mine.

    The discovery was made by the Royal Navy as it scoured the seabed on the approach to the haven.

    Officials say the mine poses no threat to shipping, however the port will be temporarily closed while the unexploded device is made safe.

    Milford Haven Port Authority said the Royal Navy was now co-ordinating efforts to dispose of the old mine."
