A 700-kilogram naval mine from World War II was found in the Danube River in Slovakia after water levels dropped, and was safely detonated in a controlled explosion, according to the Abu Ali Express channel.
The mine was found on the Danube River in Slovakia, where the receding water level exposed a 700-kilogram naval mine from World War II. Authorities detonated it in a controlled manner, according to the Abu Ali Express channel. The discovery follows similar incidents along the Danube in recent years: as The Zioneer reported in August 2026, low water levels in Serbia revealed dozens of Nazi warships from 1944, some still containing live ammunition.
