TEHRAN, Sep. 12 (MNA) – German authorities have announced the collapse of a part of a bridge in the city of "Dresden" in this country.

This is the shocking moment the Carola Bridge in Dresden collapsed with a 'deafening bang' today, with investigators frantically trying to find the cause.

Footage shows how the bridge, rebuilt after World War II, plunged into the Elbe river in the early hours of Wednesday morning, just minutes after a tram had crossed.

Nobody was on or under the bridge at the time of the incident, and no injuries have been reported.
