Russian torpedo no hazard - Ukrainian defense minister

     KYIV. May 7 (Interfax) - The Russian airborne torpedo discovered in
Crimea was  no  hazard  to  the  natural  environment, Ukrainian Defense
Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov said.
     "There  was no hazard and there are no hazards in this regard," the
defense  minister  told  journalists  after  congratulating World War II
veterans on Wednesday.
     "It would be premature to give any assessment to the Russian side's
actions.  Details  of the incident are not known and an investigation is
continuing," he said.
     "I think we will sort it out in a routine way," he said.
     The  Black  Sea  Fleet  has  been  negotiating all actions with the
Ukrainian side lately, Yekhanurov said.
