In Munich, the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, has been temporarily suspended due to safety concerns, at least until Wednesday evening. This decision came after police discovered explosives in a burning residential building in the northern part of the city, as reported by Reuters. 
As part of a large-scale operation, police units were deployed in an area of northern Munich where, according to media reports, gunshots and explosions were heard.
Authorities stated that the residential building was set on fire as a result of a family dispute. A body was found at the scene, while another person is reported missing but is believed to be out of danger, police added.
According to law enforcement, specialized units were called in to defuse the booby traps found in the building.
“We are currently considering all possible versions. Investigating possible connections to other locations in Munich, including Theresienwiese (where Oktoberfest is held). For this reason, the opening of the festival site has been postponed,” said authorities in Munich.
The Oktoberfest website indicates that due to the explosion in northern Munich, the festival will be closed until 5:00 PM on Wednesday.
