German police have launched a nationwide manhunt after a deadly attack near Berlin's Christopher Street Day Pride celebrations left one person dead and at least 16 others injured on Saturday night. Authorities are searching for a 21-year-old man identified only as Abdul B, who they say is known to police through Islamist circles, although investigators stressed they have not yet established a motive or fully reconstructed the sequence of events.
This year, hundreds of thousands of people gathered across Berlin over the weekend for one of Europe's largest Pride events. The annual celebration, which began with a pro-democracy rally on Friday and continued with Saturday's parade, was cut short after a white van drove into people near Tiergarten park close to the Brandenburg Gate, prompting a major emergency response.
