A suspected arson attack on a cable bridge caused a major power outage in southwest Berlin, leaving approximately 45,000 households initially affected and thousands still without electricity and heating amid freezing temperatures. About 14,000 households have had power restored, while provider Stromnetz Berlin warned full restoration could take until Thursday. Schools, kindergartens and care homes remained impacted, hospitals used emergency generators and shelters were set up by aid organizations and the fire brigade. Authorities said a posted letter of responsibility appears authentic and indicated left-wing extremists likely carried out the attack. Solar power reached 18% of domestic production in 2025, alcohol prices in Germany are 14% below the EU average, and an Air France flight landed in Munich after a burning smell was detected on board.
