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.
