In the Friedrichshain district, a car was set ablaze, with additional fires reported nearby.

Last week, similar incidents occurred across Berlin districts. A 36-year-old man was detained near a burning parked car in Friedrichshain, carrying ignition materials and with a hand injury. A 28-year-old man was arrested near multiple fires in Karlshorst involving trash bins, a bench, a motorhome, and vehicles. No confirmed link between the two arrests has been established.
Two men, aged 28 and 36, were arrested in connection with the suspected arson incidents across Berlin. Investigations are ongoing to determine if the incidents are linked. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local authorities.
