Illegal border entries into Germany fell over 50% in two years, with 62,000 recorded in 2025 after reinstated land border checks.
Authorities reported that an 11-year-old boy suffered very severe trauma to his right hand, raising concerns about the potential loss of the appendage. Meanwhile, the 13-year-old sustained lacerations and burns to his face and right eye. Both boys were involved in playing with fireworks outside just after 7 p.m. in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Thankfully, they were both taken to a hospital where they are expected to survive their injuries.
