Tear gas was sprayed in the hallway of the school building, local media has reported.
Students affected complained of shortness of breath and eye irritation.
A fire department spokesperson told local media that 37 children were affected.

It was reported that an “irritating gas-like substance” was sprayed at 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.”
Numerous children were complaining of breathing difficulties, irritated eyes and intense coughing.
