Breaking: Explosion in Nuremberg restaurant reportedly killing one person and injuring several others
One person has been killed and another 11 injured in an explosion at a cafe in the Bavarian city of Ansbach.
Police told the dpa news agency early on Monday that it was not clear what caused the blast in the city near Nuremberg.
Ansbach police could not immediately be reached for comment but Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper said it was believed to have been a gas explosion.
Dpa reports that an open-air concert nearby with some 2,500 in attendance was shut down as a precaution after the explosion.
Germany is on edge after a deadly rampage at a Munich mall on Friday in which nine people were killed and an axe attack on a train near Wuerzburg last Monday in which five people were wounded.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
