MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The number of attacks on refugee shelters in Germany this year has dropped to a four-year low, figures attributed to the federal criminal police revealed.

A total of 28 incidents – from assault and hate speech to property damage – were reported to police in the first quarter of 2018, the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung said Saturday.

This is half the number seen in the last quarter of 2017. A total of 312 incidents were registered last year, down from roughly 470 per quarter in late 2015 and early 2016 when Germany took in almost a million immigrants.

The security situation with regard to refugees in Germany has raised serious concerns recently among the local population.
