Vehicles of the Bundeswehr were set on fire overnight in Kassel, Germany. The police confirmed that it was a case of arson, and the investigation, still without any suspects identified, has been transferred to the Ministry of State Security due to the possibility of sabotage. The damage caused amounts to approximately $175,500.
The head of state security in Hesse, Roman Poseck, stated that the Bundeswehr is essential for the protection of the country and emphasized the need for unwavering support for the Armed Forces, calling for a thorough investigation and punishment for those responsible.
The incident comes amid growing espionage and sabotage activities attributed to Russian agents in Germany. According to intelligence services, the number of operations has doubled over the last year, with increasingly aggressive actions, including attempts at recruitment, blackmail, and damage to military infrastructure.
The rise in these threats is expected to increase pressure for strengthening counterintelligence and the protection of strategic facilities in the country.
