Germany news: Explosive devices found near power plant

Police say they found unconventional explosive and incendiary devices near the Jänschwalde power plant in Brandenburg. Meanwhile, Germany's top diplomat says Algeria could become an important supplier of gas.

On September 1, Germany announced it would terminate the lease for the Russian House in Berlin following allegations of Russian involvement in a drone attack attempt at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Around 1.4 million homes are missing across the country due to the housing crisis, and rents continue to rise, causing financial strain for many renters.

In response to the dire housing statistics, the German Tenants Association called for the government to limit rent levels and build more social housing. The suspected sabotage at an electric power station in Brandenburg involved several homemade explosive devices, described by network operator 50Hertz as small rockets resembling New Year’s Eve fireworks.

The Turnow-Preilack substation, where the devices were found, distributes electricity from the Jänschwalde power plant across the region.
