Münster, Germany - A World War II unexploded bomb has been discovered in North Rhine-Westphalia, prompting immediate action that has significant repercussions for train travel in the region. The city of Münster announced that railway lines connecting Münster to Dortmund, Wanne-Eickel, and Coesfeld will be temporarily closed as a precautionary measure.
This latest incident follows a similar event just a week prior, where another unexploded bomb was found in Cologne-Sülz, leading to the urgent evacuation of thousands of residents. The discovery in Münster occurred during construction work, highlighting ongoing concerns about remnants from the war that remain buried throughout Germany.
Authorities have started evacuating approximately 800 residents from the affected area, although no specific timeline for the bomb defusal has been provided. The site of the bomb is reportedly located near a critical railway junction, which is heavily utilized by Deutsche Bahn's express trains.
The Bundespolizei (Federal Police) confirmed that the busy rail route between Münster and Dortmund is among those impacted, with additional disruptions also affecting the line to Hamm. The city and railway officials are working closely to assess the situation and ensure public safety.
As the defusal operation is organized, passengers and residents are advised to stay informed about the status of the rail services and to expect delays. The situation continues to evolve, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
