Berlin's Blackout: Experts Warn German Infrastructure "Very Vulnerable"

A major power outage in Berlin has sparked a serious warning from experts. They say Germany's critical infrastructure is dangerously exposed. The warning came from a Berlin-based journalist specializing in security. He made a stark comparison to a nation under active attack. "German infrastructure is very vulnerable," he said. "Even if you compare it to Ukraine, which is exposed to much stronger attacks, partly on its electricity infrastructure, and is partly able to repair damage within hours." The comparison highlights a key concern: resilience. Experts argue that the ability to quickly repair essential systems is as important as protecting them. The recent Berlin outage stopped trains, trapped people in elevators, and disrupted daily life for hours. It served as a real-world test of the country's preparedness. This event is forcing a reevaluation of how Germany safeguards its critical networks. The focus is now on both stronger defenses and faster recovery plans.
