Over 20,000 households in Berlin remain without power a day after a significant outage affected 50,000 residents. The disruption, which occurred on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, has been linked to an act of arson claimed by the anarchist group “Vulkangruppe.”

The group took responsibility for targeting power cables, causing extensive damage and widespread outages across the city. Authorities are currently investigating the incident to understand the full scope of the attack and its implications for public safety and infrastructure.

This isn"t the first time Vulkangruppe has made headlines; the group previously vandalized the Tesla factory in Brandenburg in March 2024, raising concerns about escalating anti-establishment actions within Germany. The recent power outage has sparked discussions about security measures and the protection of critical infrastructure.

As restoration efforts continue, city officials are urging residents to exercise patience. Power companies are working diligently to restore electricity, but it remains uncertain how long it will take to fully resolve the situation. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in the political landscape, reminiscent of recent developments regarding public unrest and dissent in various regions.
