The driver of a car that drove into a crowd in the southern German city of Munich appears to have acted intentionally, says the head of the regional government.

“I must tell you it looks like this was an attack,” Bavarian state premier Markus Soeder tells reporters.

At least 20 people were injured when a car drove into a crowd as Munich prepares for a top-level security conference due to be attended by US Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
