Karita Mattila, the renowned opera singer, recently shared on her X account that she was evacuated in Dresden, Germany. She posted updates about her situation while waiting for developments, including a picture of herself relaxing in her bed and wishing her followers a good Wednesday. Reports indicate that a significant portion of Dresden's city center has been evacuated following the discovery of a large unexploded bomb from World War II near the former Carola Bridge.

Mattila also shared video footage showing the deserted streets of central Dresden. On her social media, she had previously posted an image of the evacuation notice from her hotel, indicating that guests needed to evacuate by Wednesday morning.
