This isn’t the first instance of wartime vessels emerging from the depths of the Danube, near the Serbian community of Prahovo, with a similar event being reported in 2022. Speaking with Reuters, Endre Sztellik, a guard who works at Danube-Dráva National Park, explained visitors have been coming to look at the wrecks, only for parts of the ships to suddenly go missing. The aim is currently to pull a portion of the ships – 21 – from the Danube, but such a directive will take significant time and money, largely due to the amount of unknown munitions aboard the ships.
