Germany Issues Urgent Warning About Incendiary Packages

Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has issued a warning to businesses about incendiary devices being sent in packages across Europe. These warnings were disseminated to companies and business associations, urging caution and vigilance when handling parcels. The BKA and the domestic intelligence service (BfV) have confirmed that several packages, which contained electronic consumer devices and containers with liquids, caught fire during transit in multiple European countries.

Authorities have noted that the incendiary devices appear to be aimed at disrupting logistics infrastructure. While specific incidents of damage have not been detailed, the BKA has encouraged businesses to report any unusual deliveries to the police immediately. The alert has also been communicated to airlines and logistics companies to enhance security measures for cross-border shipments. Investigations are ongoing to determine the origin and motive behind these incendiary parcels.
