One person has been killed and several injured following an explosion at a restaurant in the German city of Ansbach, near Nuremberg.
The interior ministry said that the explosion appeared to have been intentional, contradicting initial reports that suggested it might have been a gas explosion.
A helicopter has been summoned to the scene and rescue workers are on hand to recover any further victims. A music festival nearby was forced to end as the guests were evacuated.
The incident marks the third event in Germany in as many days, after a shooting and a separate machete attack over the weekend.
The blast followed the killing of nine people by an 18-year-old gunman in Munich on Friday.
