Summary
Augsburg police reopened the main train station and resumed rail service at 10 a.m. local time after ruling a suspicious package found after the blast was harmless.
Two Ukrainian citizens — a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man — suffered minor injuries in the explosion, which occurred shortly after 3 a.m., and police said a motive is still unclear.
The blast came a day after Germany blamed Russia for a failed Aug. 4 drone sabotage attempt at Leipzig/Halle Airport involving explosives found beside a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane.
Berlin has responded to that airport case by ordering Russia's consulate in Bonn closed, ending the Russian House contract in Berlin and tightening entry restrictions for Russian nationals.
