Germany's military warns of potential attacks on critical infrastructure

A senior German military official has warned of further attacks on the country’s critical infrastructure, a day after train services were disrupted in what authorities said was an act of sabotage.

Maj. Gen. Carsten Breuer, who leads the Territorial Operations Command, said Germany’s power plants and energy infrastructure could be potential targets of a foreign attack.

“Every transfer station, every power plant, every pipeline can be attacked, can be a possible target. We are particularly concerned about hybrid threats here. This is the state between no longer having real peace, nor is there real war yet,” Breuer told German daily Bild on Sunday.
