Stromversorgung: Immer wieder Umspannwerke: Was ist da los?

Sabotage attacks on distribution substations continue to occur across several regions in Germany. Recently, Dormagen, Weisweiler, Dormagen, Weisweiler, and Ganderkesee have all experienced such incidents. In Dormagen, a passerby discovered a suspicious object near a distribution substation. Police believe this was a sabotage attempt, possibly involving a "suspected discharge device".

Police searched the surrounding areas of Weisweiler and Eschweiler on Friday, finding evidence at both locations. In Niedersachsen, an open control panel at a distribution substation in Ganderkesee caused concern. In Brandenburg, attackers launched a power outage attack at Turnow-Preilack near Jänschwalde, followed by another at Bergheim near Köln.

Authorities found pyrotechnics and numerous rockets in both locations. The investigation is ongoing, with the police searching across Europe for the suspected perpetrator. The recent attacks, especially in the lead-up to elections in multiple German states, have led to speculation about increasing instances of sabotage. The suspects' identities remain unknown, but police are searching extensively.

One possibility is that the attacks are carried out by a single individual or a group with varying motives. The letters written in the attacks reveal opposition to the fossil fuel industry, the arms industry, and the Palestinian conflict, while distancing themselves from leftist extremism. Despite the efforts to protect the power grid, a completely secure system is impossible due to its complex nature. Instead, authorities focus on minimizing damage and restoring service quickly.
