Unusual Low Tide on Azov Sea Exposes WWII Remnants, Locals Fish by Hand

Unusual weather conditions on the Azov Sea coast have led to a significant low tide, exposing the sea floor and revealing remnants of World War II. Locals have been catching fish by hand, while authorities have discovered and neutralized old shells.

Strong winds blowing from the east and northeast for over three days have caused the water to recede by about a meter in Yeisk. This has exposed shallow waters and even allowed locals to collect fish by hand, as observed by local fisherman and blogger Fedor Beilin. The wind is expected to continue, with gusts up to 20 m/s for the next two days.

Such cold weather is uncommon for early October. During a similar low tide last year, police officers found and neutralized World War II shells. Recently, a person in Yeisk made archaeological findings from the World War II era, prompting a criminal investigation by authorities.

The low tide on the Azov Sea coast has provided an unusual opportunity for locals to catch fish by hand. However, it has also led to the discovery of World War II remnants, highlighting the importance of careful exploration and the involvement of authorities in such findings.
