Overview
- In Meldorf, Schleswig-Holstein, a 13-year-old suffered a severe hand injury when a firework exploded at a bus stop outside a gymnasium.
- A second student there likely sustained acoustic trauma, and the injured boy was taken by ambulance to a specialist clinic.
- The Schleswig-Holstein state criminal office took over the Meldorf case and initially assumes the device was permit‑required pyrotechnics.
- In Nuremberg-Eibach, an unidentified student threw a firecracker into a school auditorium around 11:35 a.m., injuring three students aged 12, 15, and 16, with the oldest also sustaining a leg injury and later going to a hospital.
- The thrower fled the scene, police are investigating whether the suspect attends the school, and authorities warned of increased pyrotechnic risks near the year-end period.
