An explosion at a train station in Germany injured two people, both Ukrainian citizens, on Wednesday.
Police say they found a suspicious package following the explosion and ordered the Augsburg train station closed. The package was ultimately found to be harmless and trains began running again at 10 a.m. local time. The victims in the explosion were a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man, neither of whom have been identified.
„We can give the all-clear — the object we found in front of the main train station was harmless, and we have reopened the station,“ police spokesperson Timo Küfner told The Associated Press. „The trains are running again, too.“
The explosion occurred just after 3 a.m. local time and caused only minor injuries to the pair.

„It’s still too early to say anything about a possible motive for the overnight explosion, but we are investigating,“ said Küfner.
The incident comes just a day after Germany accused Russia of carrying out a failed drone sabotage operation at the Leipzig/Halle Airport.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Russia’s consulate in Bonn will be closed and the contract for the Russian House cultural center in Berlin will be terminated after German authorities concluded Moscow was behind the Aug. 4 incident.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said forensic evidence and intelligence findings tied Russia to the attack, in which authorities found a drone carrying an explosive device beside a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
Officials said the device failed to explode because of a faulty detonator.

Germany also said it believes a second drone collided with a nearby cargo aircraft, while officials have linked the incident to what Dobrindt described as Russia’s „well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe.“
The Russian Embassy in Berlin called the accusation „absurd,“ while Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow would respond in a „mirror-image“ fashion to Germany’s actions. The embassy later described Berlin’s measures as an „unprecedented escalation in Russian-German relations.“
In addition to closing Russian diplomatic facilities, Wadephul announced tighter entry restrictions for Russian nationals and additional measures targeting Russia’s shadow fleet. He also said he had summoned Russia’s ambassador to Germany, Sergei Nechayev.
