A series of severe thunderstorms swept across Tirol, Austria, causing significant disruptions and damage.
Heavy rain, hail, and strong winds led to multiple landslides, blocking roads and railways, particularly affecting the Mittenwaldbahn route between Innsbruck and Seefeld.
Two trains were stranded due to landslides, with 60 passengers safely evacuated after hours of effort.
The storms triggered over 130 emergency responses, with the Innsbruck-Land district being the hardest hit.
Authorities have set up alternative transport routes as several roads remain closed for safety assessments.
The situation is gradually stabilizing, but further weather warnings remain in place.
