SEK operation at opencast mine: police raid truck of alleged electricity saboteur
According to Google News LU DE, a special operations unit (SEK) raided the lorry of an alleged electricity saboteur at the lignite opencast mine. The raid took place in connection with sabotage at a substation that had generated considerable attention in recent hours.
The police also searched the Hambacher Forest overnight, as WDR reported in a live ticker on the substation sabotage. The manhunt for the suspect is continuing.
Meanwhile, further explosive devices were discovered in Saxony — another sabotage alert that has put security authorities on high alert. CSU politician Alexander Dobrindt introduced the term "climate extremism" when discussing the background of the attacks on substations, according to deutschlandfunk.de.
Amprion chief executive Christoph Müller has since called for greater legal freedoms to protect critical energy infrastructure, according to WELT. The incidents raise fundamental questions about the security of Germany's electricity supply.
