Sabotage at the power grid: German police find confession

The police in Germany are investigating sabotage attacks on power grid infrastructure across multiple states, including Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia. A 48-year-old man from Gevelsberg is suspected of involvement in these incidents, which involve attempts to cause short circuits using self-built rockets. Recently, explosive devices were discovered near high-voltage lines at a power plant in Aachen, leading to the discovery of another anonymous letter claiming responsibility. The search for the suspect has been ongoing without success, with authorities employing various methods such as drones equipped with thermal cameras and bomb disposal units. While some attacks have caused partial outages at power plants, there have been no widespread power cuts. Authorities continue their investigation into the series of attacks, which have included both physical damage and the distribution of anonymous letters.
