Germany's national rail company Deutsche Bahn reported significant service disruptions across parts of the country on Saturday due to a technical disturbance. The issue has forced many trains to remain at stations until resolved.

An announcement on the Deutsche Bahn website confirmed that efforts were underway to fix the problem "at high speed." The disruption primarily affected long-distance and local trains in the southwest region around Frankfurt, according to Germany's ARD public television.

The outage impacted critical transport links, including trains running from Frankfurt's airport and main train station to other regions. Efforts to resolve the issue focused on a fault in a satellite radio communications system.
