German police conducted raids in Berlin targeting apartments in search of Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, two militants associated with the Red Army Faction (RAF), a far-left militant group also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. Despite the efforts of over 100 officers and arresting two men, the search ended unsuccessfully. The RAF, responsible for more than 30 murders in the 1970s and 1980s, has seen its members on the run for over three decades. In a separate incident, a major police operation unfolded at a hospital in Aachen, Germany, where an armed individual allegedly took around 15 people hostage. SWAT teams were quickly deployed to the scene, and the hospital was placed on lockdown amidst reports of a potential hostage situation.
