Church in Peine target of arson
On the morning of 25 June, a Catholic parish church in Peine, Germany, was targeted in an attempted arson attack. The fire, likely started using accelerants, caused minor damage to the entrance door but was quickly extinguished by a church employee before it could spread.
Police reported that no one was injured and the rest of the church building remained unharmed. The scene was promptly secured, and the state security service is now investigating the incident due to its potentially politically or ideologically motivated nature. The use of accelerants suggests intentional arson, though no suspects have been identified at this stage.
