A suspicious object found near a transformer station in Dormagen has prompted a new investigation into possible power-grid sabotage, according to German media.
The incident marks the third suspected sabotage attempt in Germany within a week. On Monday evening, cables placed on power lines caused a short circuit and disrupted electricity supplies in Bergheim.
On Tuesday, investigators found several explosive devices at a transformer station in Brandenburg. The station is connected to one of Germany's largest coal-fired power plants, and authorities are treating the case as a possible terrorist offense.
