A suspected explosive device was found on railway tracks in the town of Treuchtlingen in southern Germany, German police reported on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
The area surrounding the device has been cordoned off as police analyze X-ray images to assess the threat. The investigation follows the discovery of the device on the rail tracks.
The public has been warned to stay clear of the cordoned-off area amid potential disruptions. Authorities have been on heightened alert for over a week after a recent attempted drone attack involving explosives at Leipzig airport in eastern Germany.
