Explosive devices damage power lines near German coal plant

Improvised explosive devices were discovered near a coal-fired power plant in Germany, causing damage to power lines and temporarily disrupting electricity supply. The devices were found at the Preilack substation, which distributes power from the Jaenschwalde plant, which uses both lignite and waste as fuel. At least one device detonated, though others did not activate, and no injuries were reported. The power plant operator, LEAG, stated that an attack occurred at the substation, while a technical failure at the plant was also noted. Grid operator 50 Hertz confirmed damage to multiple lines but did not identify the perpetrators.
