Germany Investigates Possible Russian Sabotage

Germany has closed two military bases due to suspected sabotage involving the poisoning of drinking water, with officials suspecting Russian involvement. The Cologne-Wan airbase and the NATO airfield in Geilenkirchen are under investigation after abnormal values were detected in the water, and a hole was found in the fence of the Cologne facility. Lawmakers, including Markus Faber and Konstantin von Notz, have expressed concerns that these incidents indicate a coordinated Russian operation aimed at demonstrating sabotage capabilities. The situation has heightened alarms within Germany's defense community, leading to increased scrutiny of both military and civilian safety. NATO confirmed a thwarted attempt to breach the Geilenkirchen base, while the German military is conducting further examinations of the water sources. This incident reflects ongoing tensions and security threats posed by Russia in Europe.
