Munich attack: Two suspects in custody after arson attack in Munich

Two suspects, a 28-year-old Bulgarian woman and a 38-year-old Bulgarian man, have been taken into investigative custody on suspicion of property damage and attempted arson after a firebomb attack on a construction site near defence companies in Munich. The suspects allegedly threw incendiary devices from a car and were arrested at a petrol station.

The attack, which occurred on the night of Thursday, caused no injuries and minimal damage, and authorities believe it may have had a political motive, with the nearby firms Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing, which supplies drones to Ukraine, potentially being targeted.
