German military bases on high alert as authorities investigate suspected sabotage and attempted trespassing incidents. The Cologne-Wahn airbase was sealed off for several hours due to evidence of sabotage and abnormal water levels. The base houses key departments, including military support for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, a NATO airbase in Geilenkirchen faced an attempted trespassing incident. Security was increased, and routine checks were carried out following the incident. The base continued operating at full capacity with no safety concerns reported.
Security concerns
German officials are on high alert following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, with fears of attacks on military facilities. In April, two German-Russian men were arrested for spying and planning attacks to undermine military support for Ukraine.
