Record-low water levels in the Danube River have exposed the heavily corroded hull of the German World War II-era vessel Wotan near Medveďov on the Slovak-Hungarian border, bringing the shipwreck back above the surface more than 80 years after it sank. According to the Slovak Water Management Enterprise (SVP), the 1929 Austrian-built vessel was operating as a mine-detection ship when it struck an Allied magnetic mine in September 1944 during Operation Gardening. A severe summer heatwave and drought across Central and Eastern Europe have reduced river levels to historic lows, disrupting international shipping lanes while simultaneously unearthing hazardous wartime relics—including unexploded bombs in Slovakia and Nazi Black Sea fleet shipwrecks in Serbia. #danube #wwii #slovakia #shipwreck #history #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #europe #climatedrought #ctvnews #usnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for rea
