An unidentified object exploded in a building passageway at the Augsburg Central Station on Wednesday morning. The blast, which occurred in a passage in front of a jewelry store, caused minor injuries to several people, including two Ukrainian citizens aged 17 and 18. The shock wave from the explosion also damaged window panes in nearby buildings. Police launched a large-scale operation and cordoned off the area, which disrupted road traffic and public transportation. During the inspection, authorities discovered a second suspicious object that did not explode. This discovery prompted the full closure of the main railway station, causing a temporary suspension of the train services. Officials stated that the station itself was not the target of the attack. While the exact cause of the explosion remained unclear, explosives experts from the Bavarian state criminal police office investigated the scene. The station was subsequently reopened and rail operations resumed later in the morning.
