What were the primary causes of the significant injuries and deaths resulting from the misuse of pyrotechnics during the recent New Year's Eve celebrations in Berlin?

The significant damage during the New Year's Eve celebrations in Berlin stemmed not from general private use of pyrotechnics, but from the unrestrained behavior of specific groups, apparently immigrants from problematic districts, who misused them", explained Brinker. 42 people were treated at the Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (UKB) alone for severe injuries from fireworks, with several suffering severe hand, face, and eye injuries from illegal Kugelbomben, including children. Nationwide, five people died in incidents involving explosives.
