Bavarian prosecutors said two Belarusian men detained Oct 7 were preparing a sabotage attack near the Nuremberg–Würzburg railway line and a nearby power transmission line. The suspects, aged 39 and 50, were discovered with four canisters of highly flammable liquid and are also under investigation for espionage and their suspected involvement in a fire at a Romanian industrial site.
The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) links the men to a Russian-coordinated network responsible for a Sept 14 arson attack at the Carfil weapons factory in Braşov. The SRI stated the group, which includes a Ukrainian national named Artem S. recently arrested in Poland, also targeted centers used to train Ukrainian military personnel. Romania has since requested the extradition of the two Belarusians and increased security patrols around critical infrastructure and defense facilities nationwide.
