Panic erupted at a popular Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on Friday evening after a vehicle plowed through the market. Details remain scant, but such incidents have become all too familiar around Christian holidays, often involving vehicle or knife attacks.

"A state of emergency currently prevails at the Magdeburg Christmas market. According to eyewitnesses, numerous people fled the market area in panic. A vehicle is said to have driven into the crowd," Epoch Times Deutsche reported.

Unverified footage on X published moments ago shows what appears to be a number of causalities...

Naomi Seibt, a German teen who has a prominent voice on X and denounces mass migration in Europe, asked if this incident was "terrorism"?

"Islamists have been sending explicit threats that they will attack our Christmas markets via immigrants. The police already prevented several attempts last minute," Seibt, adding, "Elon Musk is right: Only the AfD can save Germany." 

"I can't believe it was an accident, it's a pedestrian zone & cars never drive there, and the car probably got there," another X user said.
