A festive Christmas market in Eastern Germany erupted into chaos after a car was driven into a group of people. According to German daily newspaper Bild, more than 20 people were injured in a suspected terrorist attack in the idyllic Christmas market in the Eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday. Multiple reports, citing the German public broadcaster MDR, said at least one person had been killed and several injured, though Fox News Digital could not independently verify the casualties.
The local police force took to X to confirm that, 'Extensive police operations are currently taking place at the Magdeburg Christmas market. 'The Christmas market in the city center is closed,' it added. 'Further reports will be made.' The German Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, assured market goers last month that though there were no indications of any danger in attending the Christmas markets, it was best to remain vigilant, reported the Independent.
