One Dead, More Injured After Explosion At Music Festival

A blast from an explosive device at the entrance of a German music festival has killed one person and injured twelve others. 

As BBC reports, the explosion occurred in Ansbach, near Nuremberg, and more than 2000 festival-goers were evacuated from the open-air event. 

Though it was initially suggested that the blast was a gas explosion, it is now believed to have been an intentional attack.

It is also suspected the person who died in the blast was the perpetrator.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that the suspected attacker had been carrying a backpack, but is yet to be officially identified.

The assumed-attack is the third to happen in Bavaria in the last week, following a shooting in Munich on Friday that resulted in the death of nine people and an axe attack on a train in Wuerzburg.
