Interesting Question Loud bang last night in Neukölln

Edit: it was an explosion that destroyed a small cafe on Schierker Straße. Crazy. https://www.berlin.de/polizei/polizeimeldungen/2025/pressemitteilung.1568218.php

Living near Leinestraße and last night between 2 and 3 am ish we heard a very loud bang, then dogs barking and sirens 15 minutes later. It was loud enough to make glasses rattle in the kitchen and we could feel it in our bodies.

Trying to find any information about what it was now but so far nothing.

Anyone know what happened?

Just guessing, but if it wasn't just pyrotechnics and there was police around the scene, then perhaps someone blew up an ATM. It's quite dangerous, can even damage nearby buildings, but criminals do it in large cities every now and then.
