Authorities in Germany have discovered further damage in the rail network, sparking concerns over acts of sabotage. This revelation follows a significant disruption in western Germany caused by a fire in a cable tunnel, which police initially suspected to be deliberate.

The fire, which disrupted rail services around Duisburg, prompted an investigation that quickly ruled out accidental causes. According to information from local media sources, the recent damage is consistent with the use of incendiary devices similar to those found previously.

While the investigation continues, officials have confirmed there were no injuries. The situation remains under close scrutiny by law enforcement agencies as they seek to prevent further interruptions.
