A German military base near the western city of Cologne was temporarily closed on Wednesday as authorities investigated the possible sabotage of water supplies. The Cologne-Wahn barracks, which employs around 5,500 people, including 4,300 soldiers and 1,200 civilians, had to shut down temporarily due to security concerns.
A hole was discovered in a fence leading to waterworks at the Cologne-Wahn barracks, prompting the closure. Despite an intensive search, the perpetrators were not found, leading to the decision to reopen the barracks with precautionary measures in place, such as shutting down the drinking water system.
