North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg: Attacks on power supply - suspicion of sabotage also in North Rhine-Westphalia
First Brandenburg, then North Rhine-Westphalia: Within a short period of time, there have been two attacks on the power supply. With striking parallels. North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Reul says: "Whoever does this is attacking our country."
German authorities are investigating two recent attacks on power grid infrastructure, one in South Brandenburg and another in Bergheim, near Cologne. The attacks, which involved sabotaging power lines with pyrotechnic devices, are believed to have been intentional and possibly linked to extremist groups. In both cases, no power outages resulted, but the incidents have raised concerns about the vulnerability of the grid.
The investigations are ongoing, with authorities exploring possible connections to foreign-directed sabotage and left-wing extremism.
