A man was arrested after stabbing another driver following a traffic accident in Sofia
An explosion occurred this morning in the heart of Cologne, Germany, specifically in the areas surrounding Rudolfplatz and Friesenplatz. The explosion caused significant damage to a building and left at least one person injured.
Authorities have cordoned off the affected area, advising people to stay clear of the perimeter. A large police operation is currently in progress to manage the situation.
The incident took place in a district popular with tourists and known for its numerous bars and restaurants. As of now, the cause of the explosion remains unknown.
Update: Authorities have confirmed that the explosion in central Cologne early Monday was not an act of terrorism. According to a police spokesperson, the blast, which occurred outside the Vanity nightclub and caused damage to commercial property, was not motivated by terrorist intent. A bystander sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized. While the spokesperson did not confirm whether this incident is connected to a recent series of explosions in North Rhine-Westphalia linked to organized crime, all potential leads are being investigated.
