A fire breaks out at a hospital in Ludwigslust in northern Germany, killing at least two people and injuring dozens of others, according to officials cited by multiple outlets. Deutsche Welle reports two deaths and more than 30 injuries. One DW report also notes that early or preliminary figures about the number of injured people appear to have included inaccurate information, indicating that casualty counts may be adjusted as the investigation continues.
Al Jazeera says at least 34 people are injured, and describes the town’s hospital as the only one in Ludwigslust. The Mirror similarly reports two deaths and more than 30 injuries and says patients are evacuated as the fire spreads through the facility.
All accounts describe the incident as an active emergency response and an ongoing investigation into the cause of the blaze. While exact injury totals vary slightly between reports, the common findings across sources are the location, the death toll of at least two, and widespread injuries with numbers in the dozens.
