Какие факты известны о саботажах на морских базах Германии и как на это отреагировали власти?
Germany is facing threats of sabotage aimed at the country's military fleet. Unknown individuals are sabotaging military vessels, infiltrating naval bases, and attempting to get close to German servicemen.

The situation in Germany is reported by Glavpost, citing NTV.

The Commander of the German Navy, Jan Christian Kaak, confirmed the damage to several military ships. Additionally, there have been recorded instances of intrusions into bases from both land and sea. According to him, these actions could be part of a broader strategy to destabilize Germany and the entire North Atlantic Alliance.

“Our assessment: we are being tested. There are attempts to undermine our society, both at the national level and within the alliance,” Kaak stated, adding that such incidents could be precursors to more active military actions.

Earlier, German media reported that in January, during a routine inspection of the ship "Emden," several kilograms of metal shavings were found in its power unit. However, the Navy Commander did not officially confirm this incident.

Moreover, in the Schleswig-Holstein region, there have been repeated sightings of unidentified drones flying over industrial sites. Journalists speculate that this may be linked to Russian intelligence agencies. No official evidence of foreign agents' involvement in the incidents has been presented so far.

Additionally, let's recall what Trump and Putin have already discussed: the US has officially confirmed the call.
