Augsburg’s main railway station reopened on Wednesday following an overnight explosion that injured two Ukrainian citizens and prompted a security alert. The unidentified object detonated in a passageway near the station, causing minor blast-related hearing injuries to a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man. Police found another suspicious object near the station's entrance several hours later, leading to a major security operation and the temporary closure of the station.
After determining the second object posed no danger, the station reopened, but rail services operated with delays and cancellations. Explosives experts from Bavaria’s State Criminal Police Office assisted in the investigation, while authorities remained cautious about the origin and motive behind the blasts.
