BERLIN: firecrackers left two people dead, a child injured and five people requiring amputations during New Year celebrations in Germany, police and emergency services said Monday. A 35-year-old man and a 19-year-old died when fireworks went off in their faces in the eastern state of Brandenburg, regional police said on Twitter. A firework thrown by a group of youths left an 11-year-old boy with severe facial injuries in the same region, regional daily Markische Allgemeine reported. The paper described the firework as a ?Polish rocket? sold on the Polish border and which typically contains more explosive than those which retail in Germany.
