Two teenagers were injured after a grenade detonated outside a jewelry store near a train station in Augsburg, Germany, early on September 2, 2026. The blast shattered windows and prompted an investigation by bomb squads.
Emergency services responded to reports of the explosion at approximately 3:15 a.m. local time. According to German newspaper Bild, the hand grenade injured a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man. Both victims, identified as Ukrainian nationals, sustained minor injuries, including ear damage.
Police are exploring a potential link to organized crime. Sources cited by Bild suggest the train station itself may not have been the primary target of the explosion.
Following the initial incident, another suspicious object was discovered within the train station premises. As a result, the public transport hub was temporarily shut down, affecting various modes of transportation while authorities conducted their investigation.
