German police investigate new sabotage attempt at electrical substation in Dormagen

German authorities are investigating an attempted sabotage incident after a suspicious launching device was found near an electrical substation in Dormagen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The apparatus, discovered by a passerby, was allegedly set up to target the local power grid.

Investigators confirmed the discovery of a letter claiming responsibility, which links the event to earlier incidents across North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg, including a similar device detected in Weisweiler. Forensic analysis of the evidence remains underway by Cologne police as law enforcement works to identify potential suspects connected to the growing series of infrastructure attacks.
