Suspected bomb found on train tracks in Germany
German authorities have confirmed that a suspected bomb object was discovered on train tracks near Treuchtlingen train station in Bavaria on Thursday.
German police said the incident was concerning as the object was suspected to contain explosives. A bomb squad was deployed to move and examine the object using a robot and X-ray equipment.
The police later confirmed that the object did not contain any loaded explosives.
Authorities also evacuated individuals living near the scene and advised the public to stay away from the area.
