- Three facilities — Finckensteinallee, Hüttenweg and Lankwitz — are offering free access from 14:00 for showers, warmth and phone charging.
- Roughly 28,000 households remain without electricity in what officials classify as a major incident.
- Emergency power is expanding through mobile generators, with the Bundeswehr assisting transport, setup, connections and diesel resupply.
- Police report extensive crime-scene work with early witness interviews and reviews of transport operator BVG video, but no suspects identified.
- A group calling itself the Vulkangruppe claimed responsibility in a letter deemed authentic by Berlin’s interior administration, as federal officials say a left-wing motive appears plausible but remains unproven; city leaders have described the act as left-wing terrorism and urged a federal takeover of the case.
