An explosion occurred today at Augsburg Main Station in Germany, resulting in two injuries, both with acoustic shock damage, according to Sky TG24. The explosion of a hand grenade reportedly took place in an internal passageway of the station building, as indicated by Rai News.

Following the explosion, windows were damaged, and train services were disrupted on platform 1. The roads around the station were closed to traffic, causing inconveniences for travelers and local residents.

Bomb squad interventions are currently underway, while authorities are working to determine the cause of the explosion, which according to Bild occurred in front of a Turkish jewelry store.

Despite the damage and injuries, it remains unclear what the motivation for the attack was. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities continue to monitor the situation.
