Explosion at German campsite leaves woman in critical condition
On July 25, 2026, a woman was critically injured in an explosion at a campsite in Waren, in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district of Germany. Her condition is life-threatening. A 34-year-old man caused the blast when he attempted to refill his camping stove's gas cartridge with spiritus, a type of denatured alcohol. This action triggered a deflagration followed by an explosion. The injured woman was airlifted to a clinic for emergency treatment, according to Die Zeit.
