On 13 February 2025, a vehicle-ramming attack took place at a protest march organized by the trade union ver.di in Munich, Germany. Two people were killed and 43 others were wounded. The perpetrator, 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker Farhad Noori, was arrested at the scene and sentenced to life imprisonment in August 2026.
The attack intensified political debates on immigration and public safety, already important topics ahead of the federal elections, having been the third prominent attack committed by an asylum seeker within three months, after the 2024 Magdeburg car attack and the 2025 Aschaffenburg stabbing attack.
