After the explosion at a party office of the left in Oberhausen (North Rhine-Westphalia), the police found evidence of a homemade explosive device, according to information from the German Press Agency.
Investigators said that a so-called "unconventional explosive and incendiary device" (USBV) could be responsible - built, among other things, with "lightning explosives" such as those found in fireworks.
Oberhausen - There are no indications of possible perpetrators.
At around 3:20 a.m., the explosion destroyed the windows of the party office and neighboring shops, among other things.
While left-wing politicians spoke of a “targeted attack from the right” on Tuesday, investigations are going in all directions.
