Germany Probes Berlin Weapons Cache for Foreign Attack Links, Arresting 1 Suspect in Romania

Summary
Germany said a weapons cache found on Berlin’s outskirts is being examined for links to planned attacks by foreign security agents.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt confirmed the probe on Friday but declined to say whether Russian intelligence was involved, despite media reports pointing in that direction.
One suspect was arrested in Romania last year, giving investigators a cross-border lead as they assess whether the cache was part of a wider operational network.
The case lands amid sharper warnings in Berlin about hybrid threats tied to Russia’s war in Ukraine, including fears of sabotage and other violent operations.
