Overview
- Police discovered possible damage and called explosive ordnance teams to the Turnow-Preilack substation around 08:00 Tuesday, where officers found unconventional explosive and incendiary devices.
- The transmission network operator 50Hertz and plant operator LEAG reported a short line interruption that has been restored, no injuries, and no current impact on the wider public power supply.
- The Landeskriminalamt Brandenburg has taken over the probe and forensic teams are securing traces and examining the devices to establish how they were built and deployed.
- Regional outlets and security sources say several improvised, rocket-like devices were found and defused, but police have publicly denied that rockets were used and have not confirmed the method.
- Reporting places the incident in the context of earlier attacks on Berlin–Brandenburg power infrastructure, and authorities say the case highlights the vulnerability of key distribution nodes that move Jänschwalde's output regionally.
