Explosive devices were discovered at a substation in Brandenburg near the Jänschwalde lignite power plant, which was intended to cause a large-scale power outage at the facility.

This incident follows previous attacks on energy infrastructure, including a fire in January attributed to leftist extremists and another in March targeting a power pole supplying the Tesla factory in Berlin. The article also mentions the growing influence of far-right groups ahead of upcoming state elections.
