A car has reportedly been driven into crowds at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg.

German media report that at least one person has been killed and dozens others injured - we are still awaiting official confirmation.

Local police in the central Germany city said "operations are currently taking place" at the market, which has been closed, without providing further details.

Unverified footage shared on social media showed several people lying on the ground receiving treatment
