Police in Germany’s eastern state of Saxony have launched a series of raids after death threats were made against Premier Michael Kretschmer for backing coronavirus measures.
Far-right anti-vaccination activists are suspected of plotting violence with crossbows or other “piercing weapons”.
Saxony has the lowest Covid vaccine take-up in Germany.
Last year Mr Kretschmer warned of Covid “hysteria” but he later apologised and has since backed strict measures.
