A mosque was attacked with Molotov cocktails in the German city of Kassel early Sunday.

Security cameras recorded the moments when four unidentified attackers hurled bottles filled with flammable liquid at the Yunus Emre mosque of the European Turkish Association at around 04:30 a.m. local time.

While the whole building did not catch fire, the mosque’s windows were broken and its walls were damaged.

Mustafa Koç, chairman of the cultural center which houses the mosque, said that they shared the footage of the attack with police officers and said that he hopes the attackers would be captured soon.

It is worth mentioning that at least 38 mosques have been vandalized in Germany since January 2018 according to official numbers.
