In Germany, two military sites, the Bundeswehr airbase in Cologne-Wahn and the NATO base in Geilenkirchen, were temporarily sealed off due to sabotage suspicions.
The Cologne-Wahn base was closed after abnormal water values were detected, and a hole was found in a fence leading to a water facility.
Although no illnesses were reported, water samples are being analyzed.
Meanwhile, in Geilenkirchen, a man attempted to enter the NATO base but was stopped, leading to a routine inspection.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has urged continued vigilance, and investigations are ongoing.
There is speculation about potential Russian involvement, but no concrete evidence has been found yet.
