A nice puzzle. If I am not mistaken then it It is not so hard and can be solved similarly to the usual Minesweeper, uncovering cells which are empty, and marking cells where a mine has to be.

Finally, there remains only five mines to detect.

 11 .#F  #. 1 21
 ..       .1 ##1

 #   # # 5    #F
   1F 22F FF F
 F   20113     .
 ..#F10001FF11#.

Now, thanks to Jaap Scherphuis and OP, who recalled me that all possible gray flags are shown, we can detect all mines but two.

So near the bottom right corner is at least one mine. Since there cannot be exactly one mine, there are two mines. Finally we obtain.

Finally, there remains only five mines to detect. As far as I see, there can be several possibilities to place them, even apart from the problem where is a mine near the left bottom corner. Thus I guess I made a mistake somewhere, so I am going to check my solution.
