BERLIN — A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, injuring an unknown number of people in what authorities say was a suspected attack.
Magdeburg’s University Hospital said it was taking care of 10 to 20 patients but was preparing for more, dpa reported. Chancellor OIaf Scholz posted on X: “My thoughts are with the victims and their relatives. We stand beside them and beside the people of Magdeburg.” The suspected attack came eight years after an attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. On Dec. 19, 2016, an Islamic extremist plowed through a crowded Christmas with a truck, killing 13 people and injuring dozens more. The attacker was killed days later in a shootout in Italy.
