On Sunday morning, two violent explosions shook the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Herford. A short time later, a popular cocktail bar went up in flames. It burned down completely. Because eyewitnesses smelled gasoline just before the explosions, the police are investigating the suspicions of arson.
According to reports, no injuries were reported. However, on Sunday afternoon, emergency services could not rule out that people were in the building, which housed apartments in addition to the bar. The building burned to the ground.
Search for suspected arsonist
According to a report by bild.de, a man was seen fleeing the restaurant towards the city centre. An intensive search is currently underway for the suspected arsonist. According to the information, the Special Operations Command (SEK) is ready if access is needed.
The background to the explosions is still completely unclear. An attack cannot be ruled out either.
