An explosion rocked the city of Ansbach in the German state of Bavaria early Monday morning, killing the suspected bomber and injuring 12 others, the BBC reports.

The explosion, which officials characterized as “deliberate,” went off at a wine bar near a music festival that early reports suggest may have been the intended target.

“A security guard at the entrance to the music festival reported that a man with a backpack had been trying to get into the area,” reported Guardian journalist Janek Schmidt. “He had been turned away at the entrance and then went to the restaurant. Very briefly afterwards the explosion occurred at the restaurant.”

According to the BBC, the attack is the third in the state of Bavaria in the last week.

UPDATE 10:20 P.M.: According to Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, the suspected bomber was a 27-year-old Syrian man whose request for asylum was rejected last year, the Associated Press reports.

“We don’t know if this man planned on suicide or if he had the intention of killing others,” said Herrmann.
