A major security operation was launched after a suspected explosive device was discovered on railway tracks near Treuchtlingen station, prompting police to cordon off the area and evacuate nearby buildings.
Bomb disposal experts were called to the scene while authorities urged members of the public to stay away from the railway line.
Police said the evacuation was being carried out as a precaution while emergency teams examined the suspicious object. Authorities warned that the possibility that the device could be explosive had not yet been ruled out.
The discovery caused disruption around the station as officers secured the area and specialist teams were brought in to assess the situation.
Residents and members of the public in the surrounding area were advised to avoid the station and follow instructions from emergency services while the investigation continued.
The incident comes only days after another security alert involving an explosive-laden drone reportedly caused disruption at an airport, adding to heightened security concerns.
At the time of the report, authorities had not confirmed that the object was actually a bomb, and its exact nature remained under investigation.
Police are expected to provide further information once bomb disposal specialists have completed their assessment.
