Recovery teams have pulled the body of another one of the victims of last week’s Danube ship collision from the sunken sightseeing boat, counter-terrorism force TEK, which is in charge of the recovery efforts, said on Tuesday.
The body was discovered in the window of the wreck on Tuesday morning and pulled to the surface in the afternoon, TEK said in a statement.
“The recovery teams are still working amid high-risk conditions and are doing everything they can to ensure that the operation is successful,” the statement said, adding that raising the wreck of the Hableany was still their top priority.
The bodies of two other victims were recovered on Monday.
