The blast occurred at around 3:15am in a passageway of a nearby building, impacting a 17-year-old Ukrainian girl and an 18-year-old Ukrainian man. Both suffered blast-related hearing injuries, with damaged windows in the surrounding structure. Police have not publicly identified the explosive device, with the cause and motive still under investigation. Later that day, another object was found near the station's entrance, prompting a security operation. The station was fully closed at approximately 8:30am while explosives specialists examined the second object, which was later determined to be harmless. Trains resumed operation around 10am, though passengers were warned of potential delays and cancellations.

Authorities have not linked the incident to other security incidents in Germany or identified a motive.",
