After closing down two railway stations last night it appears the terror threat is now reduced

German authorities had a "specific" warning from French intelligence sources that IS suicide bombers might strike at midnight but both Munich's main station and Pasing have now re-opened

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann says:

"The situation has eased a bit again,"

He said the temporary closure had been necessary because the intelligence service had got a "specific" warning.

But the state of alert now is "as it was before last night", Mr Herrmann told the Bavarian state broadcaster BR. He added that Europe was facing "a general, permanent terror threat".

Reuters also report that two railway stations in Moscow were evacuated earlier today after police were tipped off about bombs being planted.
