Police in Germany are investigating a suspected sabotage incident at a substation in Dormagen, near Cologne and Düsseldorf. A suspicious object was found at the site on Thursday evening, and a letter claiming responsibility has been received, referencing other similar incidents in North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg. The object is being examined, but may be a "suspicious launch device".

The police are also checking other substations in the area for similar devices, and are reviewing previous incidents, including attacks on substations in Bergheim and Jänschwalde.
