In Munich, Germany, a car drove into a crowd of people in the city center, injuring at least 20 people. The incident occurred the day before a major security conference attended by world leaders was set to begin. The driver of the car has been “secured” by police and poses no further threat. It is unclear whether the collision was intentional or accidental and the status of the injured individuals is unknown. Police have warned the public to avoid the area as a major police operation is underway.
The Munich Security Conference, an annual meeting of politicians and defense officials from around the world, is scheduled to begin with heightened security measures in place. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are expected to attend the conference to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine with U.S. partners. The motive behind the incident remains unclear, but it occurred near a trade union demonstration. Bavarian interior minister Joachim Herrmann and Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter are expected to speak at the site later in the day.
