Innere Sicherheit: Brandsätze in München: Was wir wissen und was nicht

On the night of Thursday, several Molotov cocktails were thrown at a construction site in Munich. Two individuals were later arrested at a gas station. The Bavarian State Criminal Investigation Agency (LKA) suspects an attack, possibly politically motivated, against a company in the arms industry. Here's what is known and unknown about the incident:

The location and time of the attack occurred in Munich in the early hours of the morning. According to a witness, an assailant in a car threw multiple Molotov cocktails at the construction site around midnight. One of the Molotov cocktails ignited a fire, which was extinguished by police. Special forces deactivated another Molotov cocktail. However, significant damage did not result from the attack, according to police.

Two people were arrested at a gas station after a manhunt. A 28-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man were taken into custody. The target of the attack was reportedly a company in the arms industry, as stated by the Bavarian State Criminal Investigation Agency (LKA). The LKA launched the investigation due to a suspected political motive. What is not known is the identity of the arms company targeted by the attack. The LKA has not disclosed the name of the company.

The LKA is investigating the incident under the assumption that it is a politically motivated attack against an arms company. It is unclear if the two arrested individuals are connected to the incident. Police are currently investigating this possibility. The exact number of Molotov cocktails used, their specific type, and other details regarding the planning of the attack and potential accomplices remain unknown.
