German Warship Sabotage: Is Russia Waging Hybrid War?
Germany’s Inspector of the Navy, Vice Adm. Jan Christian Kaack, announced that multiple German warships were recently sabotaged, with damage affecting “more than one unit.” This follows a report detailing metal shavings deliberately placed in the engine of the new corvette, Emden, potentially causing significant damage. Kaack cited a growing and urgent threat from Russia, though he did not explicitly attribute responsibility for the sabotage. The incidents come amid a series of suspected attacks against German and allied infrastructure, prompting heightened security concerns.
