Old Bomb Explodes Near Munich Train Station

An explosion caused by an old aircraft bomb injured three people in Munich. The explosion occurred just outside Donnersbergerbruecke station where construction is ongoing. Witnesses reported that there was a loud explosion near the Donnersberger Bridge, then they saw a column of smoke.

“At this time there is no evidence of criminal offenses. According to initial findings, we have three injured people, the danger area is largely cordoned off and train traffic is blocked on the main route,” said a Munich police press officer. “There is no danger outside the immediate area,” the local police asserted. Finding old aircraft bombs dating back to World War II has happened before on several occasions.
