Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ranked as the world’s most polluted city today, with an air quality index of 485—63 times above WHO safety standards, according to IQAir. Residents were advised to avoid outdoor exercise, keep windows closed, and wear masks due to health risks.

The Sarajevo Canton Government activated the “alert” level of its Emergency Measures Plan. Experts attribute the pollution to winter temperature inversions, low-quality heating fuels, aging diesel vehicles, and the city’s geography, which traps pollutants. Improved weather conditions are expected within days.

German authorities announced that the number of injured in the incident in which a car plowed into a crowd of Verdi workers’ union members protesting on Seidlstrasse Street in Munich at 10:30 local time has risen to 28.

A police officer who spoke to the German press stated that the driver, who was driving behind a police vehicle and plowed into the crowd and that shots were fired at his vehicle, was a 24-year-old Afghan refugee and that the possibility of other people being involved in the attack was not considered.

According to the German SPIEGEL newspaper, the suspect, namely, Farhad N., came to Germany in 2016 and started living in Munich by obtaining a permit to stop deportation after the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees rejected his asylum application.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the suspect had previously been detained over theft and drug-related crimes.

“The incident is suspected to be an attack,” Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder said.
