A criminal fire targeting high-voltage cables caused a power outage affecting 45,500 households in southwest Berlin. Local authorities suspect a deliberate act attributed to the far-left group Vulkangruppe (Volcano Group), which claimed responsibility in an online statement. The group stated it had targeted a power station in the Lichterfelde district, declaring the action aimed at “the fossil fuel economy” rather than residential consumers.
