Germany: BKA logs 165 suspected sabotage cases in 2026, targeting power and rail

A confidential BKA analysis, obtained by NDR, WDR, and SZ, records 165 suspected sabotage cases this year, including tampered power lines, rail tracks, and planned arson. The scale and targeting of critical infrastructure suggest a coordinated threat, though attribution and operational impact remain unclear. This marks a notable escalation in domestic sabotage activity, raising concerns for infrastructure resilience and security posture.
