MUNICH, Germany (North Press) – A car-ramming attack in the German city of Munich left one person dead and at least 20 others injured on Thursday, local authorities confirmed. Police have arrested the suspect, identified as an Afghan national.

Details of the Attack

The Munich Police Department reported via the social media platform X that the attack occurred in a busy area near the city’s historic center, where a car plowed into a crowd of pedestrians.

According to local media, the vehicle—a Mini Cooper—struck a group of striking workers from the Verdi trade union, who had gathered for a labor protest.

The attack took place just days before the Munich Security Conference, an annual event that brings together world leaders and security experts to discuss global security issues.

Investigation and Motive

Authorities have not yet confirmed a motive for the attack, and investigations are ongoing. However, security services are considering multiple possibilities, including whether the incident was intentional or linked to extremist activity.

Police have increased security measures across the city, especially around key locations ahead of the high-profile security conference.

More details are expected as the investigation progresses.
