German authorities are investigating another suspicious incident in electrical infrastructure after an unknown device was found in a power substation in the western German city of Dormagen. Police are examining the case as a possible act of sabotage and investigators received a letter in which its author claimed responsibility. aktuality.sk ↗
The incident follows a series of sabotage acts against companies and important facilities in Germany. In previous cases, these included attacks on the electrical grid that occurred approximately 600 kilometers apart and within a matter of hours. Similar homemade devices were used in these attacks.

The government is therefore discussing new rules for infrastructure protection, including options for private defense against drones. Discussions are taking place within the federal government and in coordination with individual states. The question remains whether and under what conditions companies could take action against drones themselves if they posed a threat to their operations or security.
Further developments will depend on the results of the investigation in Dormagen and on a political agreement regarding what powers private entities can gain in protecting critical infrastructure. The cases simultaneously increase pressure for more precise rules for responding to threats against energy and industrial facilities.
