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 discovery includes heavy bombs, revealing a wartime arsenal beneath the waters of the port.

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

The available information does not specify when the removal will begin or how long it will take. Details of how the munitions ended up on the seabed were also not provided.
