The discovery of a suspicious object near an electrical substation in Dormagen, in western Germany, rekindled alerts about possible sabotage acts against the country's critical infrastructure. Police are investigating the case and no details about the nature of the object found have been disclosed.

This incident occurs two days after similar incidents in Jänschwalde and Bergheim, which also involved electrical substations. German authorities are trying to establish a possible link between all these cases.

The investigation is ongoing and seeks to determine whether there is a connection between the attacks on substations and the new arson incidents. No information about suspects or motives has been disclosed so far.
