Overview
- An unknown device detonated in the hand of an 18-year-old in Eutritzscher Straße, seriously injuring him and costing him a hand.
- Two separate explosions later damaged the entrance of La Migliore Pizza on Georg-Schwarz-Straße and the front of a popular student café on Universitätsstraße, forcing closures for evidence recovery.
- Officers have sealed the blast sites and are investigating all incidents on suspicion of causing explosive detonations while treating the first detonation as currently unconnected to the other two.
- In a separate incident overnight three state-enterprise vehicles, including one fully electric car and two hybrids, burned in Südvorstadt in what police say is suspected arson and which echoes similar vehicle fires in April.
- Investigations remain at an early stage with forensic teams gathering evidence; the cases raise local safety concerns and could prompt closer scrutiny of attacks on public or state assets.
