Prosecutors in Germany have opened a probe into suspicions of attempted murder after seven people were victims of an apparent poisoning.

Those affected fell ill on Monday and were employees or students of the Technical University in Darmstadt, south of Frankfurt.

Police say milk cartons and water containers in one of the buildings on the campus appear to have been contaminated with a harmful substance between Friday and Monday. The contaminated liquid was said to have a powerful smell.

A "harmful substance" was added to milk cartons or water, police believe.

Investigators have not revealed what type of poison was found but say they know what it is. No motive has yet been established and no suspects have been traced.
