Explosive devices target German power substations in Brandenburg and near Cologne
On September 1, 2026, improvised explosive devices were used to damage power lines at a substation near the Jänschwalde coal-fired power plant in Brandenburg, eastern Germany, causing a brief outage but no widespread blackout. A separate incident the same evening at a substation near Cologne in western Germany also disrupted power distribution and is being investigated as a deliberate act. Authorities opened a terrorism investigation into the Brandenburg attack amid concerns about possible foreign involvement and hybrid warfare threats.
