Railway Sabotage in Saxony-Anhalt

German authorities suspect another act of sabotage after a data and power cable was set ablaze near a freight railway in Hohenmölsen, Saxony-Anhalt. Deutsche Bahn confirmed the incident halted coal transport operations along this critical supply route.

Operational Impact

The targeted rail section primarily serves coal-carrying freight trains. Services resumed after emergency repairs, but investigations point to deliberate arson.

Previous Attacks on Critical Infrastructure

This marks the third railway fire this week, following two incidents between Düsseldorf and Duisburg that disrupted hundreds of trains. This corridor connects Germany's industrial Ruhr region to Northern Europe and Switzerland.

Radical Group Claims Responsibility

Left-wing group Angry Birds Kommando claimed the first attack, stating they aim to disrupt environmental destruction systems. German railways have faced repeated targeting by radical factions.
