China's consulate in Munich on Friday warned Chinese tourists in Germany or planning a visit to the country about possible attacks by supporters of so-called "East Turkistan."

The warning was issued after a group of Chinese tourists was attacked by "East Turkistan" supporters in Munich on July 7, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. No casualties were reported.

The ministry has urged the Germans to take necessary measures to protect Chinese citizens and reminded the nationals to contact the consulate in case of emergency.
