A car ploughed into a crowd in Munich on Thursday, injuring multiple people, as the city braced for the upcoming Munich Security Conference.

The incident occurred near the central train station, about 1.5 kilometres from the conference venue, where figures like United States Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are expected to attend.

A post on X by Munich police says that around 20 people were injured, although we don't know the exact number yet. Another post suggests that the driver was detained. For now, it remains to be seen what more details will come out about the incident and how it will affect the Munich Security Conference.
