On August 23, 2024, a knife attack occurred in Solingen, Germany, during a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.
The attack resulted in three fatalities and several injuries.
The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the incident, stating it was a targeted act against Christians.

Authorities continue to investigate the motive, with terrorism being a primary consideration.
