Did the Allies carry out offensive mining operations in the Mediterranean?

Yes. Air-dropped mines were common in World War II, and submarines also conducted minelaying operations.

Allied offensive mining in the Mediterranean included air-dropped mines and submarine operations. The Royal Navy had a strong interest in minelaying submarines. Some of its larger boats had been associated with the defense of Singapore. The surviving British-built minelayer in Estonia provides another example of that submarine design tradition.
