Late-Night Explosion Shakes Berlin Apartment Building on Prinzenstraße
A loud explosion woke residents in an apartment building on Prinzenstraße early this morning. The blast caused damage to the property but left no one injured. Authorities quickly secured the area as a precautionary measure. The incident occurred just before 12:40 a.m., when an unknown substance was released outside a ground-floor window facing the street. The force of the blast shook the building, startling those inside.
Police cordoned off the sidewalk between 12:42 a.m. and 2:33 a.m. to keep pedestrians away while investigations began. The State Security Police division of the State Criminal Police Office is now leading the inquiry into the cause of the explosion.
No injuries have been reported, though the building itself suffered noticeable damage. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities working to determine the nature of the substance and the circumstances behind the blast.
