Two injured in blast at train station in southern Germany
An unknown object exploded near a train station in the southern city of Augsburg in the early hours of Wednesday, German police said, adding that two passers-by aged 17 and 18 sustained minor injuries.
Two individuals, aged 17 and 18, were injured in a blast that occurred near a train station in Augsburg, southern Germany, in the early hours of Wednesday. According to Bavaria state police, the explosion took place in a building passageway and the victims were identified as Ukrainian citizens. An additional suspicious object was discovered at the city's main train station later that day, leading to its closure, but rail services resumed later in the morning.
The incident is believed to have been sparked by a hand grenade that detonated in front of a jewelry store early in the morning, although the train station itself was not the intended target. Police spokespersons have noted that details regarding the explosive device remain uncertain. Augsburg, a regional transport hub located approximately 55 kilometers northwest of Munich, was the scene of this incident.
