Suspected Arson Targets Queer Bar in Rostock

A fire broke out early Sunday morning after a Molotov cocktail was thrown into a popular LGBTQ+ venue, causing significant damage.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a man dressed in black throw an incendiary device into the bar.
The incident resulted in no injuries, but the damage is estimated at 100,000 euros.
Police are investigating the attack, which follows a failed attempt on the same bar in September.
Local politicians and activists have expressed concern over rising attacks on LGBTQ+ spaces.
The Left Party's queer group blames political rhetoric for emboldening such acts of violence.
