German interior minister links climate activist to power grid sabotage attacks

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced on Friday that investigators have identified a militant climate activist as the likely perpetrator behind a recent series of sabotage attacks on power grids across Germany. The statement followed a coordinated police operation that uncovered evidence linking the individual to the deliberate disruption of electricity infrastructure in several federal states, incidents that prompted temporary outages and prompted heightened security measures at critical energy sites.

Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing and that additional resources will be allocated to protect the nation’s power supply from further attacks. The interior ministry emphasized that law‑enforcement agencies are working closely with energy providers to assess the full extent of the damage and to prevent similar incidents, while the suspect remains at large pending further legal action.
