23 Police Vehicles Set Ablaze Outside Munich Station, State Security Investigates

Authorities suspect arson with potential political motives after a nighttime fire destroyed police cars, causing significant damage but no injuries.

23 police vehicles were completely destroyed by fire outside a Munich police station in the Untermenzing district early Saturday morning.
The fire caused damage to the nearby police building, but no injuries to humans or animals, including police dogs housed nearby, were reported.
Authorities are treating the incident as suspected arson and investigating potential political motivations, with some officials linking it to left-wing extremism.
Munich's mayor and Bavaria's interior minister condemned the act as an attack on democracy and called for the perpetrators to be swiftly brought to justice.
State security and a specialized arson unit have launched investigations, while police are seeking witnesses who may have observed suspicious activity in the area.
