Incident near power plant: Self-made projectile found at substation

An explosion attempt was made at a substation in Turnow-Preilack, South Brandenburg, near the Jänschwalde power plant. Self-made explosive devices resembling fireworks were found at the site, according to transmission network operator 50Hertz. The devices were defused by police experts and an investigation is underway. The incident caused a technical failure at one of the plant's blocks but did not affect the general power supply. The motive behind the attempt remains unclear.
