Police in the German city of Potsdam say they have found an explosive device next to a Christmas market.

The device was sent to a pharmacy in the city south-west of Berlin, and was found to have wires protruding from it.

Police said they later found explosives inside, before they conducted a controlled detonation of the device.

Last December, 12 people were killed when an Islamist attacker hijacked a lorry and drove it through a Christmas market in Berlin.
