German police are investigating a series of attacks on electricity infrastructure. According to a Cologne police spokesperson, investigators have received a letter in which an unknown individual claimed responsibility for one of the incidents.

The latest case took place in Dormagen, a town between Cologne and Düsseldorf. Police said a passer-by noticed a suspicious object, which was identified on Thursday as a possible explosive device. No power outages were recorded, and no damage has been reported.

Two more attacks within a week

On Tuesday, a substation in Bergheim near Cologne was targeted — police found an explosive device and pyrotechnics at the site. That same day, attackers struck a substation near the Jänschwalde power plant in Brandenburg, using homemade objects resembling New Year's fireworks.
