A 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove into a crowd in Munich, injuring 28 people. The car accelerated towards a Verdi trade union protest before crashing. Police detained the driver, stating he posed no further threat. The incident occurred hours before world leaders, including US Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, arrived for the Munich Security Conference. This follows a December crash in Magdeburg, where a car rammed into a Christmas market, killing two and injuring nearly 70 others.
