Incident near power plant: Rockets and fireball: Sabotage on the power grid in Brandenburg
Sabotage at a substation in Brandenburg: Rockets are used to trigger a short circuit, but the power supply remains stable. What is currently known about the perpetrators and the procedure.
Two sabotage acts occurred at a substation near the Jänschwalde coal power plant in South Brandenburg, but did not affect the power supply. According to Brandenburg's Interior Minister Jan Redmann, in two cases, conductive material was successfully introduced into the high-voltage line, but fortunately not in several other attempts.
A two-digit number of additional devices were found, and the area near the Saxon border is still being searched. The motive of the perpetrators, who are still unknown, is unclear, but Redmann stated that the goal was to cause a short circuit.
