48-year-old German 'climate extremist' planted bombs at power stations in Germany

German authorities have identified a 48-year-old man from Gevelsberg as the primary suspect behind a series of sabotage attempts on power substations across North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony. The suspect, motivated by his opposition to fossil fuels, claimed responsibility for the attacks in letters to the press. While police have seized explosives from his residence and located his vehicle, he remains at large. Government officials have condemned the acts as climate extremism, prompting calls for increased security measures around critical energy infrastructure.
