Who is flying drones over an industrial area in Brunsbüttel at night? The public prosecutor’s office is investigating. And the interior minister is promising to be vigilant.
According to Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack, the security authorities in Schleswig-Holstein are investigating drone flights over an industrial area in Brunsbüttel with the utmost care. “The federal and state security authorities warned of espionage and sabotage some time ago. This still applies,” said the CDU politician. “In Schleswig-Holstein, we naturally investigate every suspicion of espionage and sabotage and are very vigilant in this area.”
According to media reports, the drone flights began over the ChemCoast Park in Brunsbüttel at the beginning of August. According to “Spiegel”, up to four drones have appeared over the site on several nights since August 8.
According to a spokesman, the Flensburg public prosecutor’s office, which is responsible for state security matters, has initiated an investigation into the suspicion of “agent activity for the purposes of sabotage”. The authority did not provide any information on the origin and destination of the drones. Various media outlets named Russia as a possible perpetrator.
The Interior Minister from Schleswig-Holstein said: “We have acquired equipment for drone defence and are in the process of acquiring further equipment. We also work very well with other federal states and the federal government and also receive technical support from them.”
