Rail services at Paris’ Gare du Nord, including Eurostar and local trains, have been suspended after an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered near the tracks in Saint-Denis.
The device was found overnight during railway maintenance work, prompting authorities to halt all operations as a precaution. Passengers traveling between London and Paris have been advised to reschedule their trips, with large crowds gathering at the station awaiting further updates.
Gare du Nord, Europe’s busiest train station, handles over 600,000 passengers daily. Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for the resumption of services.
