  "account": "In Brandenburg, near the coal-fired Jänschwalde power plant, explosives were discovered at an Umspannwerk (substation) named Turnow-Preilack. Police confirmed that around 8:00 AM, a potential damage to a transmission line was found. However, the incident did not affect the public power supply. The explosive devices, described by the transmission system operator 50Hertz, appeared to be a homemade rocket similar to the commercially available \"Silvesterraketen\" (New Year's rocket). Additional unlaunched rockets were found at the scene.\n\nAuthorities are still investigating the incident at the substation. The number of explosive devices found remains unclear. Asked if the incident could potentially be classified as an attack, a police spokesperson stated that further investigations will determine the truth. The substation feeds electricity from the Jänschwalde coal-fired power plant into the grid. The general power supply, according to the transmission operator, was not impacted at any point.",
