Can widow mines be denied with force fields?

All is in the title. Is it possible to deny a mine shot with a force-field?

I have been in this situation, a team-mate has scanned a zone and reveal some widow mines on the my way to enemy base. I was wondering if I could run and place FF on the mine to avoid mines during my go trough. Because I don't wanted to loose my army, I haven't tried.

Solution 1:

No, widow mines' attacks are a spell, and as such they can cast it through the force field.

Units can't un-burrow when under force field, but widow mines attack from underground, and Immortals shield won't absorb widow damage since it is spell damage.

You should deny them with illusions or long range attacks.
