German authorities have raised concerns regarding potential sabotage at a barracks located near Munich, following a series of similar suspicious events in recent weeks.
Local media reports indicate that the German military has found evidence suggesting a possible break-in at a barracks in southern Germany. There have been fears regarding deliberate contamination of the water supply at some army facilities.
During a routine inspection on Thursday, a large hole was discovered in the fence surrounding the Christoph Probst Barracks in Garching, near Munich, as reported by Bild, referencing a military spokesman. This barracks also contains the Central Institute of the Medical Service and a military hospital.
The spokesman noted that there was no indication that anyone had gained access to the buildings within the facility.
Authorities stated there was no link to an earlier potential sabotage of the drinking water supply at an air force barracks near Cologne, assuring that the water at that location was deemed safe. Earlier, there were reports of an interruption at the Cologne base due to "unusual values" in the drinking water system.
In the case of Garching, the alert was triggered when a guard detected a hole in the fence close to the water plant on the property. An immediate search for any intruders proved fruitless, and subsequent investigations confirmed the water's safety for consumption.
A comparable incident unfolded on Tuesday at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen in western Germany, which accommodates multiple reconnaissance aircraft. According to a NATO spokesman, security personnel thwarted an individual who attempted to breach the base, clarifying that the fence remained intact. Given the proximity of this attempted trespass to the Cologne incident, authorities conducted checks on Geilenkirchen's water supply, finding no irregularities.
Additionally, on Thursday, a breach in the fence surrounding Mechernich's central drinking water supply in western Germany was detected. Investigations confirmed that the water was not contaminated, though the incident prompted warnings for thousands of residents to refrain from using the water for any purpose, including showers, while inspections were conducted.
