German police continue their search for a 48-year-old man from Gevelsberg who is suspected of sabotage attacks on energy infrastructure facilities in Germany. Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described the suspect as a climate activist and classified the cases under the term climate extremism. STVR (Minute by minute) ↗
The investigation concerns attacks and attempted sabotage in North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg. An unknown device was found at an electrical station in Dormagen and police are examining letters in which the author claimed responsibility. Investigators are also examining possible connections between individual incidents and Brandenburg. aktuality.sk ↗
Police in North Rhine-Westphalia intervened at the vehicle of the suspect, who is on the run. Explosives were found in his apartment in Gevelsberg. The Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Herbert Reul stated that police continue to search for the author of several confessions to sabotage attempts against electricity supply. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
Minister of Economy Katherina Reiche emphasized that attacks on power lines are attacks on residents, although no blackouts for individual households have been reported so far. According to deputy leader of the parliamentary club of the Union Günter Kringas, the attacks have terrorist qualities and the state should proceed more harshly against climate extremism.

Further developments will depend on the results of the search, expert analyses of the devices found, and whether investigators can confirm a connection between the cases in individual federal states.
