“Authorities temporarily closed Munich’s Oktoberfest celebration in response to a bomb threat Wednesday, local officials said. The flagship festival will remain closed until at least 5 p.m. local time, the city government announced in a statement Wednesday, after a bomb threat letter was received. Officials said they planned to conduct a thorough search for explosives. … The government said the threat might be connected to an explosion at a house in northern Munich early Wednesday morning that left at least one person dead.” (10/01/25)
