A system malfunction has halted trains across Germany.

Deutsche Bahn, the national railway operator in Germany, has suspended train traffic across the country due to a fault in its communication system. The issue involves the digital GSM-R communication system used for internal railway network communications. All trains have been stopped at stations, but the cause of the malfunction remains unknown. Deutsche Bahn stated that their technicians are working intensively to resolve the issue, though they have not provided an estimate of how long the disruption might last or how many trains have been affected. Director Evelyn Palla emphasized that the priority is to bring trains to stations so passengers can safely disembark before addressing the underlying problem.
