Ein Spaziergänger hat einen verdächtigen Gegenstand an einem Umspannwerk in Dormagen zwischen Köln und Düsseldorf entdeckt. Es könne sich um eine Abschussvorrichtung handeln, sagte eine Polizeisprecherin in Neuss. Das sei aber bisher nicht sicher. Der Gegenstand werde nun von Experten untersucht, um zu klären, ob er für eine Attacke auf die Stromversorgung geeignet war. Der WDR hatte zuvor berichtet.

Es könne nach dem derzeitigen Stand auch nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass es sich um eine Attrappe eines Trittbrettfahrers handele, sagte die Sprecherin. Es habe keinen Angriff auf das Umspannwerk und keinen Stromausfall gegeben.

Ähnliche Vorfälle in Bergheim

Vor zwei Tagen war es an einem Umspannwerk in Bergheim westlich von Köln zu einer Attacke auf ein Umspannwerk gekommen. Dort waren mehrere Abschussvorrichtungen entdeckt worden.

Security authorities register 165 suspected cases of sabotage in Germany

Federal and state security authorities have registered 165 suspected cases of sabotage this year, according to a BKA analysis from the end of August. Most cases are concentrated in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria. In comparison, there were 320 suspected cases of sabotage last year. Sabotage is defined as the deliberate interference with economic, scientific, military, security or political processes, including manipulation of power lines and railway lines or planned arson attacks. Experts and government politicians see this as Russia's hybrid warfare, which also includes disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks. A prominent case is the attempted attack at Leipzig Airport with a drone loaded with explosives near a Ukrainian transport plane, for which the federal government blamed Russia. In addition, there have recently been attacks on power supply systems in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia, although Brandenburg's Interior Minister Jan Redmann considers a connection to be likely and does not rule out foreign powers.
