The school had already been evacuated by the time the Dresden fire department were called out to the school.

A spokesperson for the fire brigade said: “We have triggered a major alarm and prepared the clinics in Dresden and the surrounding area.”

It has since emerged that an “irritating gas-like substance” was sprayed at the school, which many of the children had inhaled.

The fire brigade added that many of the children were crying when they arrived on the scene just after 11am.

Some of the injured children have been taken to hospitals in Freital, Meissen, and Pirna.

It is currently unclear how the incident occurred.
