War munitions found in wrecked German ships on Danube
The Mine Action Centre in Serbia commented on the discovery of old war munitions from World War II among the wreckage of German ships sunk in the Danube River. Firearms, anti-aircraft ammunition, and highly explosive deep bombs were found during navigation clearance operations, due to the lowered water levels caused by an unusual heatwave, which exposed parts of the ships above the surface. The project aims to expand the navigational route and includes retrieving 21 sunken ships, with more munitions expected to be uncovered. The work is anticipated to cease in July 2028. The wreckage dates back to Operation "Edel Danube" in September 1944, when German forces sank over 200 naval units during their retreat ahead of the advancing Red Army.
