Headline: Attack: Bundeswehr trucks in Erfurt burned out or damaged

Short Summary: Six Bundeswehr trucks were set ablaze by unknown perpetrators at a car dealership in Erfurt on the night of June 22-23, 2025.

Extended Summary: On the night between June 22 and 23, 2025, six trucks belonging to the German Bundeswehr were deliberately set on fire at a car dealership yard located in northern Erfurt, specifically at the MAN Truck & Bus Service GmbH premises in Erfurt-Gispersleben. The fire resulted in the vehicles being burned out or damaged. A company spokesperson confirmed the incident but stated that authorities have not provided further details about the ongoing investigation.
