Brandenburg: Police checking on confession letter after sabotage on the power grid
The police are investigating after the sabotage of the power grid in southern Brandenburg on Tuesday. Now a letter of responsibility has appeared.
The police in Brandenburg are investigating a purported confession letter related to a sabotage incident at the power grid in South Brandenburg. On Tuesday morning, unknown individuals used homemade projectiles to direct conductive material at high-voltage power lines in Turnow-Preilack, with over a dozen devices found so far. There was no power outage, according to the grid operator.
A similar incident occurred at a substation in Bergheim near Cologne, with launch devices and pyrotechnics found nearby. Brandenburg's Interior Minister Jan Redmann stated that the signs suggest both attacks were part of a coordinated attack on the energy supply.
