Berlin โFaces Extendedโฃ Recovery After Sabotage Causes 60-Hour Blackout
Berlin,September โฃ9,2025 – Parts of Berlin โคenduredโ a prolonged blackout lasting up to 60 hours following a intentional act of sabotage targeting the city’s power infrastructure. While electricity has been largely restored, full recovery is expected to take months, impacting residents, businesses, and criticalโค services across the Treptow-Kรถpenick district โคand beyond.
Six S-bahn linesโ experienced interruptions, andโ disruptions extended to supermarkets, schools, companies, and nursing homes, requiring the temporary relocation of patients to neighboring hospitals. The incident underscores vulnerabilities in critical infrastructureโค and raises concerns about the growingโ threat of politically motivated attacks.
Authorities attribute the blackout toโ a coordinated assault claimedโค by anโ anarchist โgroup โคvia the Indymedia International Network. โขThe โขgroup stated their intention wasโค to strike theโ military-industrial complex located in the Adlershof park, specifically targeting sectors involved in artificial and defense โฃintelligence, โขrobotics, IT, aerospace, and nanotechnology.
The activists acknowledged causingโค danni (damage) to citizens and offered an apology,โ asserting thatโ the inconveniences were an acceptable consequence of disrupting these targeted โsectors. โฃ
The extensive area affected contributed to a staggered restoration โฃof power, with some locations โคexperiencing longerโ outages than others.โ Investigations are ongoing, and authoritiesโค have not released details regardingโ theโข specific methods used in the sabotage.
