After attacks on the power grid: Suspicious object discovered at substation in Dormagen

A suspicious object was found by a walker at a substation in Dormagen, between Cologne and Düsseldorf. The police said it could be a launch device, but this is not confirmed. Experts are examining the object to determine if it was capable of attacking the power supply. The incident is being investigated, and police have not ruled out the possibility that it is a fake device left by a copycat. There was no attack or power outage at the substation.
