Jänschwalde: Brandenburg's interior minister talks about two short circuits at the power plant – no "New Year's Eve fireworks"
Near the Jänschwalde coal power plant in the Lausitz region, police discovered several explosive devices at a substation. Prime Minister Woidke expressed concern.
Unbeknown individuals attempted to disrupt operations at a substation in Turnow-Preilack, Brandenburg, near the Jänschwalde coal power plant. According to Brandenburg's Interior Minister Jan Redmann, the perpetrators tried to cause short circuits, succeeding in at least two cases. The affected lines were temporarily shut down but have since been restored to operation.
The devices used were described as specially constructed for short circuits, not simply fireworks-like objects. Police and bomb disposal experts remain at the scene, continuing to investigate.
