Explosives found at a key substation in Germany!

German police and bomb disposal units responded to a security incident at a transformer station near the Jänschwalde power plant in Brandenburg after finding explosive devices installed on electrical infrastructure. The incident occurred around 8 AM when damage was noticed on the water lines of the Turnow-Preilack transformer station. Special units were deployed to deactivate the explosives, which were later identified as an improvised explosive device placed on a power line but fortunately did not activate. According to reports from the regional criminal police (LKA), the attackers aimed to target block E of the Jänschwalde power plant, potentially causing a widespread power outage. Although there was a brief disruption in the grid, the system was quickly stabilized, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply to residents. No injuries were reported, and investigations into the motives and extent of damage are ongoing. The transformer station in Preilack is a critical node for distributing energy produced by the Jänschwalde plant, one of the largest energy facilities in the region built during the East German era.
