During the Berlin Pride parade, a car plowed into the crowd, killing one person — BBC
In central Berlin, during the “Berlin Pride” event, a car plowed into a crowd of people. One person was killed in the incident, and at least 16 others were injured.
According to police, the suspect has been identified but has not yet been apprehended. Law enforcement officials reported that the man had previously come to the attention of police and has ties to Islamist circles. He is currently being sought.
Following the tragedy, organizers canceled the annual event, also known as Christopher Street Day.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the authorities will conduct a full investigation into the circumstances of the incident and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner called the incident “an attack on our free and open society.”
According to eyewitnesses, a car plowed into the crowd at high speed, after which people began fleeing in panic toward Tiergarten Park. Police reported that some of the victims have suffered severe, life-threatening injuries.
According to the organizers, the “Berlin Pride” events—which include a parade, concerts, and political speeches—attract about one million participants each year.
This was reported by the BBC.
As a reminder, a plane crash occurred in the German town of Handerkes in the state of Lower Saxony—a light aircraft crashed into a residential building and pierced its roof. At the time of the accident, no residents were inside the house, so there were no casualties on the ground.
A year after a major train crash in Germany, investigators determined the cause of the tragedy. The disaster, which occurred on July 27, 2025, and claimed the lives of three people, was caused by a landslide following heavy rainfall. Among the victims were also Ukrainian citizens.
