Daemon rank	Thu Jan 01 20:31:18 Same shit as every year: (automatic translation) https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/silvester-2026-102.html In Bielefeld, two 18-year-olds died in accidents involving homemade fireworks. Police explained that they had ignited their fireworks at different locations. They suffered fatal facial injuries in the process. Near Rostock, a 23-year-old man lost his left hand when a firecracker exploded. The man was hospitalized with serious injuries on New Year's Eve, a police spokesperson said. In Leipzig, a 16-year-old girl suffered severe hand injuries while attempting to light a firecracker that is not approved for use in Germany. In Berlin, several people sustained serious injuries while handling fireworks on New Year's Eve. At the Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (UKB), more than 30 people were being treated for injuries as of Thursday morning. Some had to have fingers or parts of their hands amputated, hospital spokeswoman Angela Kijewski told the AFP news agency. Burns, facial injuries, and eye injuries were also reported. "Particularly horrific" is the fact that eight of the injured are minors between the ages of 14 and 17: "Their lives will be forever changed by these injuries," said Kijewski. Several young men also had fireworks hit in their faces while bending over firecracker batteries, suffering serious injuries, including to their eyes. The hospital expects more people to arrive for treatment throughout the day. In Leipzig, police were attacked with fireworks. A spokesperson reported that various firecrackers were thrown at officers. Police set up cordons, including in the Connewitz district, known for its unrest. Several fires also broke out in Leipzig's city center, according to dpa reporters. In Flöha, Saxony, a 40-year-old man attempted to blow up a cigarette machine on New Year's morning, according to MDR. The Chemnitz police headquarters reported that the man suffered life-threatening injuries and is being treated at the Chemnitz hospital. In Frankenberg, unknown individuals set fire to a van containing fireworks – causing €20,000 in damage. Firefighters in several German states also had to respond to fires. Several roofs caught fire in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, on New Year's Eve. A police spokesperson said the fire initially spread from a burning tree to a house. From there, the flames ignited the roofs of two other buildings in the same complex. The buildings were completely destroyed. An investigation is underway to determine whether a firework caused the blaze. A fire in the roof of a historic building on Cathedral Square in Erfurt spread to two adjacent houses. According to the fire department, a New Year's Eve rocket likely started the fire.
