A U.S. military train was damaged by explosions on a journey between Frankfurt, West Germany, and West Berlin, but no injuries were reported. “We’re treating this as an attack,” a West German police spokesman said, but he conceded there was no information on who was responsible.

A railroad spokesman said the U.S. military train was the target of a similar attack last year.
