After disruptions in cell phone networks in Berlin, the all-clear was given via the Katwarn and Nina warning systems.

There are no longer any known disruptions in the Berlin area, it said late Thursday evening.

The Berlin fire brigade had previously received increasing reports that the emergency call 112 could not be dialed.

On the part of the fire brigade, however, the emergency call worked, said a spokesman on request.

Berlin - If you can't get through, it's because of your own telephone network.

A police spokesman said there were no known disruptions to the 110 emergency call.

Deutsche Telekom made it clear that its network was working without any problems.

The Brandenburg police advised on Twitter to make emergency calls with another phone, for example from a landline.

The Hamburg police situation center had previously reported via the Katwarn and Nina warning systems that the emergency numbers 110 and 112 had failed.

“At the moment there seems to be disruption in the entire Hamburg telephone network.

The cause of the failure was initially unknown.
