WWII German Shipwrecks Emerge as Danube River Hits Record Low Levels
Record-low water levels in Europe's Danube River have exposed around 20 German World War II-era shipwrecks near Prahovo, Serbia. These vessels, sunk by retreating Nazi forces, contain unexploded ammunition, raising safety concerns for shipping. The low waters also impact navigation and hydropower generation, affecting Serbia's energy supply. The resurfaced wrecks offer a rare historical glimpse and have attracted tourists interested in the region's wartime past.
