  "account": "Police in South Brandenburg are investigating a sabotage incident at the power grid, where unknown individuals attempted to cause short circuits near the Jänschwalde coal power plant on September 1. According to Interior Minister Jan Redmann, a two-digit number of devices were found, and it appears that the perpetrators had specialized knowledge, possibly obtained from online instructions. The motive and perpetrators are still unclear, but the police are exploring all possibilities, including links to left-wing extremist groups or foreign entities. The incident did not cause a power outage, but authorities are taking it seriously, and the police have launched an appeal for witnesses to come forward.",
  "summary": "They wanted to trigger a power outage in Brandenburg with homemade projectiles. Remnants of the attack are lying near a substation. Investigators are searching for traces of the perpetrators.",
