Overview
- Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin reported six New Year’s fireworks patients, including a child with suspected ball‑bomb injuries.
- The hospital said the child’s hand was completely destroyed and other deep wounds on the body required treatment.
- Clinicians described the case as “dramatic” and noted the device type remains a suspicion rather than a confirmed finding.
- Local broadcaster Rbb first reported the severe injury before the hospital’s statement was cited by other outlets.
- Coverage recalls a 2025 Berlin case in which a seven‑year‑old was gravely injured by a Kugelbombe and needed emergency surgery and many follow‑up operations.
