An arson attempt was made in the attic of the stable building at the Hussar barracks in Østerbro on Marsken Street. By the time the arson attempt was discovered, the fire had already burned itself out, even though the two bombs had been planted beside stocks of hay, straw, and chaff. It is believed that the sabotage was linked to a series of nine sabotage fires and attempts that occurred over the summer of 1942.
