Police admit search errors after child drowns in Schleswig-Holstein

German authorities in Schleswig-Holstein have confirmed that a missing three-year-old girl in Preetz died from drowning after being recovered from a pool on her parents' property. Police admitted to operational oversights during the initial search, after officers initially failed to locate the child on the premises before her body was subsequently discovered.

In a separate incident involving the same region, a tour bus transporting 54 students and teachers from the Probstei community school in Schönberg crashed early in the morning in the Netherlands. Dutch emergency services reported that at least 15 passengers sustained injuries, with several listed in serious condition. Local Dutch authorities have launched an investigation to establish the cause of the collision.
