Suspicion of Sabotage: German Military Base Near Cologne Set to Reopen

A German military base next to Cologne airport that was previously sealed off due to a suspected act of sabotage is set to reopen, a military spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday.

"The barracks were closed after an incident on Tuesday night," explained Lieutenant Colonel Ulrich Fonrobert, speaking to reporters in Cologne. He did not divulge specifics regarding the incident. "The barracks will open their doors again in the coming minutes," he assured.

The base's closure had raised concerns and speculation, but the official reopening implies that any immediate threat may have been mitigated.
