Fears Putin has targeted Germany AGAIN after two more suspected attacks on electricity grid overnight

Germany has suffered two more attempted attacks on its electricity grid overnight, as the country remains on high alert following an attempted drone attack it has blamed on Russia.Local police said an attempt had been made to short-circuit a power grid installation in the city of Dormagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, German newspaper Bild reports. Police have received a letter claiming responsibility. And separately, police in the northern town of Ganderkesee, Lower Saxony, cordoned off a transformer station on Friday citing suspicious circumstances. A police spokesman said officers had made a discovery overnight that required a police response without providing further details, but said there was no danger to the public.Earlier this week, Germany was already grappling with two suspected sabotage cases. In the first, authorities were investigating vandalism at a substation in Bergheim, 30 minutes' drive from Dormagen, that prompted five brown-coal power plant units with a combined capacity of 4,200 megawatts to temporarily go off-grid.In the other, devices carrying conductive material damaged power lines at one of the most critical high-voltage nodes in the eastern state of Brandenburg. Nato member Germany, which supports Ukraine in its fight against Russia, has long accused Moscow of targeting it with a campaign of hybrid attacks involving espionage and sabotage – charges denied by Russia. German police said an attempt had been made to short-circuit a power grid installation in Dormagen Germany has long accused Vladimir Putin of targeting it with a campaign of hybrid attacks involving espionage and sabotageGermany has repeatedly reported suspicious drone sightings over military and industrial sites. At the beginning of August, police defused a drone carrying explosives near a Ukrainian cargo plane in Leipzig. And another drone was reportedly found weeks later near the airport, also with traces of an explosive substance.The airport in eastern Germany plays a key role in the transport of military goods, including by the German military and Nato allies, and also serves as a base for Ukraine's Antonov Airlines.Chancellor Friedrich Merz later said Germany had increasingly 'found itself in the crosshairs of hybrid attackers'.Berlin has so far refrained from blaming Russia, speaking only of the possible involvement of 'foreign powers', until Tuesday, when it said Moscow was responsible for last month's drone attack. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the Leipzig airport attack followed the 'well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe', and the assumption was that Germany would be targeted again. Other EU members are also warning of Russia's increasingly aggressive moves. On Thursday, Denmark's national security and intelligence service (PET) warned Russia is recruiting Danish citizens to help plan sabotage against Danish defence firms with ties to Ukraine. 'Russia is both planning and carrying out acts ⁠of sabotage against defence companies and the defence industry in Europe,' PET's head of counter-espionage Emil Gresholm said in a statement.'We see that Danish ​companies are also targets of concrete Russian sabotage planning, and that Russian intelligence services are actively preparing acts of sabotage directed at the defence industry in Denmark,' he said. Russia's ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, said in an emailed statement on Thursday that Mr Gresholm had failed to ⁠provide any concrete evidence to support the allegations.'Gresholm's statements should also be seen as an acknowledgement that Copenhagen's reckless involvement in the conflict in Ukraine and the transformation of Danish territory into a production and logistics ​rear base for ​the Ukrainian armed ⁠forces poses security risks to Denmark and its citizens,' Mr Barbin said.Mr Gresholm said PET has uncovered concrete examples of Russia attempting to recruit Danes on social media and gaming ⁠platforms for tasks such as taking photos of companies or infrastructure, which could be used in the planning of acts of sabotage.'It is extremely ⁠serious if ​ordinary Danes help Russian intelligence services - either ​deliberately or unwittingly,' he said.
