Overview
- A witness saw an unknown person near the parked vehicles on Seydlitzstraße in Moabit around 3:15 a.m., after which one Kältebus burned out and a second was damaged; no injuries were reported.
- The Landeskriminalamt’s Brandkommissariat opened an investigation on suspicion of arson based on the witness account and the circumstances of the fire.
- Two of the three Stadtmission buses are currently out of service, with one a total loss and the other awaiting repair that could take time due to specialized fittings.
- Operations for the coming nights are secured through a replacement van from the carrier Gewebo and another vehicle from a private donor, with further offers of help and early donations reported.
- Officials condemned the attack as life‑endangering, the city signaled assistance options, and the donation‑funded program—run by about 60 volunteers that aided roughly 2,100 people last winter—continues distributing supplies and taking people to shelters.
