As Christmas atmosphere intensifies around the world, a truck rammed into a Christmas market at Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz on the evening of December 19, causing deaths and injuries. It is known that 12 people were killed and 48 injured. As this incident may have been a terrorist attack, local authorities in Berlin, Germany, are urging residents to stay at home. Whether there are any travel alerts in place is also worth paying attention to for tourists planning to visit Berlin soon.

In July, a similar serious terrorist attack occurred in Nice, France, where a truck plowed into a crowd watching a national day fireworks display, killing 86 people. Attacks targeting crowded celebratory events appear to be a recurring tactic, and with numerous Christmas and New Year events taking place recently, travelers should be extra vigilant about their safety.
