Second attempted break-in at water plant of Cologne-Wahn air base
Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The dataset records another attempted break-in at the water treatment plant of the Cologne air force base; it notes the case was not publicly attributed to Russia but fits a pattern. It codes the incident as reconnaissance, apparent goal preparation for potential sabotage, target public services, location Germany; the dataset dates it only to January 2025, so the date shown is the first of the month. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
