Police operation after attempted attacks on the power grid in East Saxony

The police operation in connection with attempted attacks on the power grid in East Saxony is ongoing.

In some cases, police officers were busy securing evidence all night long, a spokeswoman for the Görlitz Police Department said in the morning. She continued to keep a low profile with details and background information about the operation north of Bautzen. Information was planned for later in the day, it was said.

The Saxon Interior Ministry said on Friday evening that “unknown explosive devices” had been discovered. We were talking about four objects at two locations. They should be defused.

There had previously been several attempted sabotages against the energy supply in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
