German authorities have announced that a suspicious object discovered on rail tracks in Treuchtlingen, Bavaria, did not contain explosives, contrary to initial fears. The object, found in the southern part of the Bavarian town, had prompted the evacuation of nearby buildings as a precautionary measure. Experts had conducted X-ray scans of the object located in Treuchtlingen, which is situated approximately 150km northwest of Munich.
Authorities had urged the public to keep away from the area, which was secured by police. The incident follows a recent attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport, where an unmanned aerial vehicle loaded with explosives was discovered near a runway. German law enforcement has been on high alert for over a week due to the threat posed by the failed drone attack on the eastern German airport.
