In the evening, the find was blown up by experts. There was no danger to local residents. According to the spokeswoman, the man is being sought.
The police are also investigating suspicions of terrorism
According to the police, the background to the incident is still unclear. Research is being done in all directions. So far there is no evidence that a planned terrorist attack may have been foiled. Nevertheless, the state security service responsible for politically motivated actions was also called in by the State Criminal Investigation Department.
The bag was blown up on the spot
According to information from the “BZ”, the explosive found was a highly explosive substance. According to the police spokesperson, this needs to be investigated further. Due to the existing danger, the find was blown up in a nearby park in the evening around 7:50 PM.
