Baku-APA. A Syrian migrant set off an explosion at a bar in southern Germany that killed himself and wounded a dozen others, authorities said, the third attack to hit Bavaria in a week, APA reports quoting AFP.
The 27-year-old had intended to target a nearby music festival in the city of Ansbach, news agency DPA quoted regional interior minister Joachim Herrmann saying.
The attacker, who lived in the city after arriving in Germany two years earlier, had tried to enter the festival but was turned away as he did not have a ticket.
The explosion happened just outside a bar in the city centre, not far from where some 2,500 people gathered for the concert, at around 10:00 pm (2000 GMT).
Police have blocked off the area and emergency services were at the scene. Bomb experts were also sent to determine the cause of the blast.
