Die Welt·DE·about 4 hours ago
Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has recorded over 165 suspected sabotage acts and more than 740 suspicious drone sightings nationwide so far in 2026, per an internal situation report. The scale suggests a coordinated or opportunistic campaign targeting critical infrastructure, though attribution and impact remain unclear. This signals elevated domestic security threat levels in Germany, likely prompting increased defensive measures.
