The death toll from a storm that swept across Germany has increased to at least eight, authorities said.
Police in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt said a 65-year-old man died trying to secure his roof, and a 34-year-old man was killed by a falling tree during treacherous conditions.
At least six other people died and dozens more were injured across central and northern Germany as Thursday’s storm felled trees and brought major difficulties to the transport network.
Three people also died in the neighbouring Netherlands and Belgium.
German rail company Deutsche Bahn has now resumed operations, but warned of possible delays to its service because of damage to the tracks.
