World War II Munitions Found on Seabed at Greece’s Thessaloniki Port

A seabed survey at the Greek port of Thessaloniki has uncovered hundreds of shells and other munitions dating back to World War II.

The find includes heavy bombs, revealing a wartime arsenal beneath the waters of the harbour.

The munitions must be removed before expansion work at the port can be completed. Their discovery adds a clearance requirement to the development project.

Details of the removal operation, including its timetable and how the explosives will be handled, were not provided in the available information.
