Italy's embassy in Berlin said Saturday that, according to information provided by the police, no Italian has been reported so far among the victims of a deadly attack in which a driver ploughed a car into a crowd at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg on Friday evening.
The embassy is continuing to monitor the situation of the injured but, at the moment, no Italian nationals were among the hundreds of people who have been contacted.
Five people have been reported dead and about 100 injured by local authorities so far.
A 50-year-old doctor, a Saudi citizen who had moved to Germany in 2006, has been arrested for the attack.
