In Munich, a potential terrorist attack was thwarted when police shot and killed an 18-year-old Austrian man near the Israeli consulate.

The incident occurred on the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack, adding a historical layer to the event.

The suspect, known to Austrian authorities for his Islamist ties, was armed with a rifle and reportedly planned an attack on the consulate.

The swift response by Munich police prevented further violence, with no other injuries reported.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the suspect's motives and connections.
