Berlin mayor says left-wing arson attack behind massive power outage



An arson attack claimed by a left-wing extremist group has left tens of thousands of residents in Germany's capital without electricity in the dead of winter for several days. The Saturday morning arson attack on critical electricity infrastructure in southwest Berlin cut power to nearly 50,000 homes and businesses, and renewed scrutiny of a long-running sabotage campaign by the left-wing "Vulkangruppe."

According to Stromnetz Berlin, the operator of Berlin's electricity network, power was cut to as many as 45,000 households and more than 2,000 businesses across four districts in south Berlin as temperatures dropped well below freezing.

In a lengthy statement circulated online and called credible by police, the Vulkangruppe said it had deliberately targeted affluent neighborhoods, to "cut the juice to the ruling class."

The group framed the attack as an act of protest against fossil fuel energy use and the growing power demand created by AI data centers, which it said had accelerated climate change and expanded mass surveillance. The statement included an apology to less wealthy residents caught up in the blackout but it expressed no sympathy for wealthy homeowners left without electricity.
