In Germany, politicians are demanding a ban on illegal fireworks, particularly ‘Kugelbomben,’ after a disastrous New Year’s Eve in Berlin resulted in five deaths and numerous injuries. The calls for stricter border controls aim to prevent the smuggling of these dangerous devices from neighboring countries. Officials report that dozens of people, including children, suffered severe injuries, including hearing loss and extensive bodily harm. The incident has reignited discussions about public safety regarding fireworks use in the country.
