At least 12 individuals sustained injuries when a suspicious package was found at a DHL distribution center.
Police and specialized hazmat teams were dispatched to the warehouse in Langenzenn, Germany earlier today after numerous employees became unwell.
This incident comes after a series of Russian attacks targeting parcel depots throughout Europe over the past year.
Seven workers at the depot were taken to the hospital, a police spokeswoman confirmed.
Officials fear the number of those affected could still rise.
According to initial investigations, a suspicious package was found early in the morning.
It is still unclear what was inside.
It comes just days after three German-Russian dual nationals went on trial in Munich accused of spying for Moscow.
They also allegedly plotted attacks on critical military infrastructure and industry in the German city.
The main suspect, named as Dieter S, is said to have masterminded the plan to sabotage Germany’s support for Ukraine.
He is being tried alongside Alexander J. and Alex D., who are alleged to have helped him on behalf of a foreign intelligence service.
