According to the fire brigade, three people were injured in an explosion on a Deutsche Bahn construction site in Munich, one of them seriously.

All rail traffic around Munich Central Station was suspended on Wednesday, said a rail spokesman.

That affects long-distance and local transport.

It was unclear how long the traffic would stand still.

The police and fire brigade went on a large-scale operation.

According to the police, there had been a loud bang near the Donnersbergerbrücke, then a column of smoke formed.

The fire department spoke of an explosion.

"We are in the process of taking care of the people," said a fire department spokesman on site.

The exact cause of the explosion is unclear.

The police said they had no evidence of a crime so far.

The Donnersbergerbrücke is not far from the main train station in the center of Munich on the main route of the Munich S-Bahn.

Numerous fire engines and around 50 emergency services were on site, a federal police helicopter circled over the area.
