British police executed a controlled explosion following the discovery of a suspect package near Euston railway station in the heart of London. The incident, which unfolded on Saturday, led to a temporary evacuation of the busy transport hub.

The Metropolitan Police, responsible for security in the capital, confirmed through their social media platform X that the operation was successfully carried out by specialist officers, and the police cordons that had been established around the area were subsequently removed.

Initially, law enforcement had issued a statement recognizing online reports about a potential threat 'in the vicinity of Euston Station.' As a precaution, they had set up protective cordons, which have since been dismantled following the conclusion of the safety operation.
