Vienna's main train station has been evacuated following an unspecified threat, leading to the suspension of rail traffic, as confirmed by police and the national rail company OBB on Monday.

Although authorities have not officially detailed the threat, local tabloid Heute reported it as a bomb threat. Austria experienced numerous false bomb threats last year, causing significant disruptions at major stations.

Police on social media platform X described a large-scale operation underway at the station, urging the public to stay clear of the area. This disruption has also impacted other public transport services, including the underground, trams, and buses.
