Car Attack in Mannheim Causes Multiple Deaths

A tragic car incident in Mannheim, Germany, resulted in at least two fatalities and numerous injuries after a vehicle plowed into a crowd during carnival celebrations. The suspect, a 40-year-old German national from Rhineland-Palatinate, has been arrested, but no motive has been disclosed. The incident occurred amidst heightened security due to previous vehicle attacks in Germany, including those in Munich and Magdeburg. Witnesses reported chaos as emergency services attended to the injured, and police issued warnings for the public to avoid the city center.
