Tragedy in Magdeburg: Tokayev extends condolences to the President of Germany on December 21, 2024.

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed condolences to the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, regarding the numerous human casualties resulting from the tragic incident at the Christmas market in Magdeburg.

"Sharing in the sorrow of this irreplaceable loss with the friendly people of Germany, on behalf of the people of Kazakhstan and personally, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. I wish a speedy recovery to all those injured," the telegram states.

It is worth noting that a native of Saudi Arabia plowed into a crowd of visitors at the New Year market. According to the latest official reports, at least four people have died, and around 200 have been injured. The assailant turned out to be a psychiatrist who was licensed to work in Germany.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived at the scene of the tragedy.
