Police Investigate New Fence Breaches at Air Force Base in Cologne-Wahn

Multiple holes were discovered in the perimeter fence of the Bundeswehr base, echoing a similar incident in August that raised concerns about potential sabotage.

Several holes were found in the fence surrounding the Bundeswehr air force base in Cologne-Wahn, prompting police investigations.
The breaches were discovered on Monday evening, and both police and Bundeswehr representatives have confirmed the investigation is ongoing.
A similar incident occurred in August, leading to fears of sabotage and a temporary closure of the base after anomalies were detected in a water supply system.
Subsequent tests during the August incident ruled out contamination or sabotage, and the base was reopened after initial alarms were resolved.
Other Bundeswehr facilities, such as those in Geilenkirchen and Mechernich, also reported similar fence breaches earlier this year, raising broader security concerns.
