Prosecutors say the death toll in the attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg last month has risen to six as a woman succumbed to her injuries.

At least five people are now known to have been killed in the vehicle-ramming attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday.

Four women and a 9-year-old boy were killed and 200 people were injured when a man drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers in the German city of Magdeburg — an attack that has left Germans mourning the victims and with a shaken sense of security.

A sixth person has died following the car-ramming attack at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg. A 52-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries in hospital, a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in Naumburg told dpa on Monday.
