Neukieritzsch (dpa/sn) – Unknown people threw a firecracker on the property of a refugee home in Neukieritzsch in the Leipzig district. The police said on Monday at the request of the German Press Agency that people of different nationalities were accommodated in the accommodation. No one was injured by the pyrotechnics. No damage was caused to the building during the incident on Monday night either. The investigation in the case had been handed over to the criminal police. So far there is no information on the perpetrators.

It was not until Friday morning that previously unknown perpetrators carried out an arson attack on a planned refugee home in Bautzen. Mainly due to the current situation, the Neukieritzsch case is also being investigated in the direction of a politically motivated act, the police said.
