A car driver crashed into a crowd of at least 28 people, including children, in Munich, Germany on Thursday. The incident is being treated as a “suspected attack” by Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder.
The suspect, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, was known to police for previous offenses. Police are asking witnesses to come forward with footage and information about the incident.
The crash occurred just miles away from where world leaders will gather for the Munich Security Conference on Friday. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are expected attendees, along with other prominent officials.
Despite President Donald Trump’s desire to end the Russia-Ukraine war, US officials say a concrete plan is not yet in place. The negotiations between Trump, Zelenskyy, and Russian President Vladimir Putin will be challenging, but all options for peace are on the table.
The MSC has issued a statement condemning the incident and urging calm. The conference, which aims to address global conflicts, was deeply saddened by the news.
