Cable Fires Disrupt Train Services

Published: 2024-08-04

In recent days, a series of cable fires affecting Deutsche Bahn infrastructure in Bremen and Berlin has raised concerns of politically motivated attacks.

The Bremen State Security is investigating an anonymous claim of responsibility posted on the leftist platform Indymedia, which describes the Deutsche Bahn as a key component of the capitalist system.

The fires, which disrupted train services significantly, are believed to be linked to these claims.

Following a cable fire in Bremen on Monday, another incident occurred in Berlin on Friday, leading to extensive delays and cancellations across regional and long-distance train services.

The Deutsche Bahn has ruled out technical causes for the fires, labeling them as acts of vandalism.

Investigations are ongoing, with authorities examining the potential political motivations behind these incidents.
