Hostel for Ukrainian refugees burned down in Germany, investigation suspects that it is arson

This is reported by DW.

The report says that on October 19, the police came to the hostel because an unknown person painted graffiti with a swastika on a sign with the name of the hotel. Currently, the police consider arson as the main version.

“Based on my many years of experience as a firefighter, I now assume that the fire was set on purpose,” Tino Schomann, the head of the district administration, said. 

Almost 120 firemen and 20 fire trucks put out the fire. None of the 14 residents of the dormitory were injured, and they are currently in another institution.

DW also notes that in August, an unknown person tried to set fire to a kindergarten attended by children of Ukrainian refugees.
