At least five people lost their lives, and over 200 were injured in a car-ramming incident at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, officials reported. A Saudi national has been arrested on suspicion of driving into the crowd.
The attack occurred on Friday evening as marketers gathered to celebrate the pre-Christmas season.
The incident has strengthened an ongoing debate over security and migration during Germany’s election campaign, where the far-right is gaining significant traction in polls.
