Berlin Power Outage: Anarchist Attack Raises Questions of Motive and Russian Influence
A power outage affecting thousands of households and businesses in Berlin was caused by a bomb attack on power cables claimed by the left-wing anarchist group ‘Volcano Group’. The group cited this action as an act of resistance against the “greed for energy.” While power was partially restored to some areas, full service is not expected to be restored until Thursday due to the extensive damage and challenging weather conditions. The outage also impacted traffic lights, public transportation, and smart home systems, leading to the setup of emergency centers for residents.
