Berlin Hospital Incidents, Bavarian House Blast and Delhi Car Explosion Spur Criminal and Terror Inquiries

Investigators are testing political and terror motives as forensic teams secure evidence and public tips guide next steps.

Overview

  • Berlin’s Staatsschutz and LKA explosives experts are investigating a pre‑dawn detonation at Vivantes Neukölln and a fire at Charité Mitte, with illegal pyrotechnics under review and a possible link being assessed.
  • Police report no injuries and say both hospitals remain operational; damage at Vivantes includes broken windows and a scorched reception area at the radiotherapy entrance, while Charité notes minor facade damage.
  • Berlin police set up a witness portal and have received seven tips, seeking original photos and videos from the Kormoranweg and Invalidenstraße areas to identify suspects and reconstruct the sequence.
  • In Geisenfeld, Upper Bavaria, investigators found residues of accelerants and suspect deliberate arson in a double‑house blast and fire; a male body was recovered and is believed to be the missing 59‑year‑old resident pending DNA confirmation.
  • In New Delhi, at least eight people were killed by a car explosion near the Red Fort as police pursue a terrorism lead under anti‑terror laws, report arrests linked to recent raids, and say about 360 kg of potentially explosive material was seized.
