Germany news: Explosive device found near power plant
Police say they found an "unconventional explosive and incendiary device" near the Jänschwalde power plant in Brandenburg. Meanwhile, Germany's top diplomat says Algeria could become an important supplier of gas.
Germany has discovered an explosive device near an electricity substation in the Brandenburg region, causing a brief power outage. The suspect devices were described as small rockets resembling New Year's Eve fireworks. Brandenburg State Premier Dietmar Woidke condemned the attempted attack and called for measures to protect critical infrastructure.
This follows a series of recent power grid attacks, including an arson incident in January that left thousands without electricity and another targeting an electricity pylon in March. The tragic Berlin Pride attack in July, where an Islamist extremist killed one person and injured 31 others, prompted the erection of a rainbow bench in remembrance. However, the bench was recently vandalized.
