Saudi Arabia Condemns Car-Ramming Attack in Munich

The Kingdom expresses solidarity with Germany following a violent incident that injured multiple individuals.
Saudi Arabia has officially condemned the recent car-ramming attack in Munich, Germany, which occurred on Thursday and resulted in injuries to at least 30 individuals.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom expressed its complete rejection of all forms of violence and reaffirmed its solidarity with Germany during this troubling event.

The ministry conveyed well wishes for the swift recovery of those injured in the incident.

The attack involved a vehicle driven into a crowd, with eyewitnesses reporting chaotic scenes immediately following the collision.

Local authorities confirmed that among the injured, several people sustained serious injuries.

According to police reports, the driver of the vehicle has been identified as a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker named Farhad N. He was apprehended at the scene of the incident.

Following the attack, law enforcement agencies assigned counter-terrorism officers to take over the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack.

Bavaria's state premier stated that, as of the latest updates, there was no immediate evidence suggesting that the driver had any prior extremist connections or motives.

This assertion underscores the ongoing efforts by German authorities to thoroughly investigate the nature and intent behind the incident.

The incident has elicited reactions from various global leaders and organizations, prompting discussions around security and public safety in urban areas.

The attack in Munich adds to a series of violent incidents targeting civilians in different parts of the world, raising questions about the complexities surrounding such attacks and the implications for social cohesion and security measures in public spaces.
