German Navy Investigates Sabotage on Minehunter at Rostock Shipyard

Authorities are probing deliberate damage to a naval vessel's systems, raising concerns over security at maintenance facilities.

The Rostock prosecutor's office is investigating suspected sabotage on a German Navy minehunter at the Tamsen Maritim shipyard.
Several severed cable bundles were discovered during a routine maintenance check, with experts ruling out accidental damage or theft.
The damage was concealed behind external panels, suggesting deliberate and sophisticated planning by the perpetrators.
This is not an isolated incident; other recent cases include sabotage attempts on the naval corvette 'Emden' involving metal spines in its propulsion system.
Navy officials have acknowledged an increase in sabotage attempts and are implementing enhanced security measures at shipyards.
