  "account": "In a recent incident of grid sabotage in Brandenburg, Minister for the Interior Jan Redmann (CDU) believes the \"fortunate outcome\" was that only one of more than a dozen \"missile-like objects, each with a trigger,\" succeeded in its mission. According to Redmann, during Tuesday morning, a bullet managed to transport a cable into the high-voltage line, forming a conductive connection with the ground. The perpetrator did not use standard fireworks, but the objects were comparable, he noted. Positioned near the Umspannwerk Turnow-Preilack on the border with Saxony, directly under the lines close to the Jänschwalde power plant, the perpetrators had been present at the scene for several days prior, Redmann explained. Investigations are ongoing in various directions, and thus far, no manifesto has been found. There is also no indication of foreign involvement or the use of secret service methods. \"We must currently assume that the perpetrators were already on-site several days ago and installed the relevant apparatus,\" Redmann stated. The construction and installation of these devices require a significant amount of technical expertise.",
