Major Power Outage in Berlin
On Tuesday morning, a major power outage occurred in Berlin, affecting over 50,000 households and businesses. The cause of the blackout was the arson of two high-voltage power pylons.
Anarchist Group Claims Responsibility for the Attack
An anarchist group named "Einige Anarchist:innen" has claimed responsibility for the arson. In a statement, the perpetrators indicated that their targets were companies in the IT, defense, and artificial intelligence industries, such as Siemens and Atos. The group accused these corporations of supporting militarization and surveillance.
Consequences of the Outage
The blackout had serious consequences for the southeastern part of the city:
- Paralyzed public transport.
- Non-functional traffic lights.
- Problems with emergency number services.
- Closed schools.
Services have so far managed to restore power to about 15,000 customers. Investigators are treating the case as a politically motivated attack.
Attacks on critical infrastructure are a growing trend – similar chaos was caused by a cyberattack on European airports. In Poland, the energy sector faces thousands of cyberattacks annually.
