German authorities probe suspected sabotage after two power substation disruptions

German police are investigating a sabotage attack at the Preilack substation in Brandenburg, near the Jänschwalde power plant. Officials said improvised rockets carrying conductive material struck extra-high-voltage lines, causing two short circuits and damaging cables. More devices were discovered, prompting bomb-disposal teams to secure evidence. A brief outage occurred, but operator 50Hertz said electricity supplies remained stable. Authorities have not identified suspects or a motive, while Interior Minister Jan Redmann warned that Germany’s infrastructure remains vulnerable to attacks by actors.
