A drought exacerbated by a heatwave has led to record-low water levels in the Danube River, revealing a scuttled Nazi ship near Prahovo, Serbia. The vessel, believed to have been abandoned by its crew fleeing the Soviet Army during the war’s final days, is among an estimated 200 shipwrecks in the river. The European Investment Bank notes that the presence of these wrecks poses a significant risk to commercial navigation, costing Serbia approximately £4.3 million annually for debris removal. Concurrently, Hungary’s only nuclear power plant in Paks is set to shut down due to insufficient water for cooling, raising concerns about the nation’s energy supply. Romania has also announced the shutdown of one nuclear reactor, with a second closure imminent, as countries grapple with the ongoing heatwave and its implications for water and energy resources.
