 Munich Oktoberfest shuts down following bomb threat and fatal blast, police say

Police in Munich announced that the city’s famous Oktoberfest would remain closed until Wednesday afternoon following a bomb threat tied to a deadly residential fire in northern Munich.

Authorities said the festival grounds at Theresienwiese, west of the city center, would stay shut until 5 p.m. while officials assessed the threat. Police confirmed that a letter from the perpetrator linked the bomb threat to the fire, and further action would be determined later in the day.

The fire broke out at a residential building in the Lerchenau neighborhood on Wednesday morning, claiming one life. Responding officers and firefighters reported hearing “loud bangs” and described the building as a “burning residential structure.”

Police said the fire appeared to have been deliberately set during a family dispute. One person remains missing but is not considered a threat. Investigators later found explosive devices inside the building, prompting special forces to be called in to safely defuse them.
