Police are currently responding to an explosion at Augsburg's main train station.
An unidentified object exploded around 4.15am in a building passageway, injuring several people.
Traffic and public transport are currently disrupted as the investigation continues.
The station building and platform 1 remain closed, a police spokesman told German newspaper Bild.
Train services are running on other platforms, which are accessible through the north and south entrances.
Several windows also shattered in the explosion, according to local reports.
The number of people injured is unclear, as is the cause of the explosion.
The street outside the train station is currently closed and the police have urged the public to "avoid the area widely" in a statement on social media.
The blast comes just days after an unexploded Second World War-era aircraft bomb was found in Augsburg.
Construction workers found the ordnance during work, forcing around 200 people to evacuate.
Hours after its discovery on August 31, bomb specialists determined the unexploded explosive no longer had a fuse.
