Fires at German Postal Facilities Prompt Investigations into Suspected Arson

Separate incidents in Munich and Greven involve fires linked to a package and a delivery cart, with authorities probing potential connections and motives.

  • A fire broke out at a Munich post office on Sunday, damaging a package-laden delivery cart and causing €15,000 in damages; arson is suspected.
  • In a separate incident on Saturday, a package containing flammable liquid and a detonator ignited at a postal distribution center in Greven, North Rhine-Westphalia.
  • No injuries were reported in either case, though the Greven fire destroyed the package and left its sender and recipient unidentifiable.
  • Authorities in both cities are investigating the incidents, with the Greven case being treated as a potential criminal act involving a makeshift incendiary device.
  • Officials are working to determine if the two fires are connected or part of a broader pattern of attacks on postal facilities.
