Drying Danube River reveals explosive-laden WWII Nazi warships
PRAHOVO, Serbia — Europe's worst drought in years has pushed the mighty Danube River to one of its lowest levels in almost a century, exposing the hulks of dozens of explosives-laden German warships sunk during World War II near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo.The vessels were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany's Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces, and still hamper river traffic during low water levels.However, this year's drought — worsened by human-induced global warming — has exposed more than 20 hulks on a stretch of the Danube near Prahovo in eastern Serbia, many of which still contain metric tons of ammunition and explosives and pose a danger to shipping."The German flotilla has left behind a big...

NEW YORK — Nearly 1,000 boys and girls have been killed or injured in the war in Ukraine, the head of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported on Monday, underscoring the urgent need for peace.“Once again, as in all wars, the reckless decisions of adults are putting children at extreme risk.
