Berlin blackout: How dangerous are left‑wing extremists?

A left‑wing extremist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Berlin power plant. What drives such an attack, and how serious a threat does this radical network pose?

On Saturday, January 3, 2026, attackers deliberately destroyed cables using incendiary devices.
