Augsburg Station Reopens After 3 a.m. Blast Injures 2 Ukrainians

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 2

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.
