Germany Investigates Sabotage Attacks on Power Substations in Brandenburg and Bergheim
German authorities are investigating two recent sabotage attacks on power substations in Brandenburg and Bergheim, involving rockets and pyrotechnic devices that caused short circuits but no widespread power outages. Officials have not ruled out involvement by foreign states or left-wing extremists. The incidents highlight concerns over the vulnerability of Germany's critical infrastructure amid ongoing tensions with Russia, which Germany recently blamed for a separate drone attack on a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig airport.
