Two injured in blast at train station in southern Germany

On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, an unidentified object exploded in a passageway at Augsburg's main train station at around 5 a.m., injuring at least two people and shattering nearby windows, police said.
While the nature of the device remains unestablished, police officials treat the explosion as a deliberate criminal act rather than a technical malfunction, according to investigators.
The two injured individuals, aged 17 and 18, sustained minor blast trauma; surrounding shops and a bank were slightly damaged as authorities closed platform 1 and the station building.
This incident follows Tuesday's attempted sabotage at power plants in Bergheim and Brandenburg, where police discovered explosive devices, prompting investigations into potential criminal coordination.
Authorities expanded the closure to include all station entrances and platforms as a large-scale security operation continues, with road traffic and public transportation near the station remaining disrupted.
