Xinhua News Agency, Berlin, August 27th. German Chancellor Scholz mourned the victims of the previous knife attack in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia on the 26th, calling the incident "terrorism against all of us" and said that he would push for legal amendments to tighten controls on knives.

A knife attack occurred at the 650th anniversary celebration of the city of Solingen on the evening of the 23rd, killing three people and injuring eight. The suspect surrendered to the police the next evening.

According to multiple German media reports, the suspect is a Syrian who came to Germany at the end of 2022. The extremist organization "Islamic State" has claimed that its members carried out the attack.
