Nine soldiers were injured as two bombs exploded outside a British army barracks in Duisburg, West Germany. The pre-dawn blast tore off part of a roof and gouged out part of a wall. The Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Police said they assumed that incident was connected to the attack on the barracks.
