Germany news: More than 1,900 missing children
Germany has 1,933 open missing children cases nationwide, which is 6.8% higher than the previous year. May 25 marks International Missing Children’s Day. In Berlin, police launched a major response after a 35-year-old allegedly threatened children with a long gun from a balcony in the Hellersdorf district. The incident followed a complaint about noise, and the children ran away after the threat. A witness alerted authorities, and officers including a special forces unit entered the apartment. Police found two other adults inside and seized a long gun with a magazine but no ammunition, two prohibited knives, and nearly 8,700 suspected smuggled cigarettes.
