Unverified reports of potential weapons of mass destruction remain unsubstantiated.

On August 30, 2025, an investigation was conducted at the A30 interchange Ibbenbüren/B219 following a suspicion of an unexploded ordinance (UXO). The location of the suspicion was the temporary bridge under construction at the site.

The excavation took place at the eastern abutment of the bridge, and the results were promising. Upon excavation, no UXO was found, and no other hazardous object was discovered in the ground.

The safety status of the temporary bridge has been confirmed, and it remains safe for construction activities. The outcome of the investigation was that no unexploded ordinance was found, eliminating the need for immediate security measures or evacuations.

The local police authorities had expressed their suspicion about remaining explosives at the A30 exit Ibbenbüren/B219 on August 30, 2025. However, the investigation at the site on the same day revealed no evidence of an unexploded ordinance.
