German police have launched an operation in Mönchengladbach following a suspected bomb threat. Authorities have cordoned off Bismarckplatz, a major intersection in the city center, and evacuated residents from surrounding buildings.
A police spokesperson cited the threat situation as the reason for deploying a large number of officers to investigate the lead.
Local German media confirmed that the operation is related to a bomb threat, and the closure of Bismarckplatz is expected to cause significant traffic disruptions in the city center.
“Several roads leading to this major intersection will be closed at certain points,” the spokesperson explained, noting that the situation also affects public transportation, as bus lines pass through Bismarckplatz.
Authorities continue to monitor the area and have urged residents to avoid the city center until the situation is resolved.
