Explosion Near Migration And Refugee Office in Germany

An explosion has been reported near a migration and refugee office in the town Zirndorf, near Nuremberg, in Germany.

As per initial reports, a suitcase full of aerosols exploded and caused severe damage. It was not confirmed if there were any casualties.

The entire area has been cordoned off and people were asked to maintain a safe distance. A massive search operation has been launched and an alert was issued by the police.

It is yet to be known whether it was a terrorist attack or an accidental explosion.

The incident came just days after a failed Syrian asylum seeker blew himself up in a suicide bombing outside a music festival in the Bavarian town of Ansbach.

Mohammad Daleel, 27, had pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Isis in a video shared by the terrorist group.
