The German interior minister ordered to step up police presence at airports and rail stations.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere ordered on Monday to boost police presence at airports and rail stations after the recent wave of attacks.

"I have ordered to strengthen federal police presence at airports and rail stations," de Maziere tweeted.

Germany was hit by three brutal attacks in less than a week. Last Friday, a lone shooter gunned down nine people in the southern Bavarian city of Munich. Two days after, a machete-wielding attacker hacked to death a woman and injured two more people in the country's south.

On Sunday, a blast rocked the southern German town of Ansbach, leaving one person dead and at least 12 injured. Local police believe that the man killed by the explosion, a Syrian national whose asylum application had been rejected, detonated the bomb.
