Germany investigates possible sabotage of water supply at military base

Aug 14th, 09:02:46

 

BERLIN (Reuters) -A German military base next to Cologne airport was temporarily sealed off and soldiers there were told not to drink tap water as authorities investigated possible sabotage, a security source said on Wednesday.

 

The water on the base, which has 4,300 soldiers and 1,200 civilian employees, may have been contaminated after someone forced their way in, creating a hole in the fence, the source added, confirming a report by Spiegel magazine.

 

The barracks were reopened in the afternoon, but the tap water ban was maintained as a precautionary measure pending the result of tests, the source said.

China port explosion snarls trans-Pacific container trade

 

Hazmat incident closes busy Ningbo hub

 

The closure of Ningbo Beilun’s Phase III Terminal is expected to have cascading effects on the main trans-Pacific trade lanes out of Asia, and the supply chain at large, in the midst of the peak shipping season.

 

Container traffic has been halted at Ningbo following a shipboard explosion involving hazardous materials at one of the world’s busiest intermodal hubs.

 

The explosion aboard the Yang Ming vessel YM Mobility on Friday reportedly involved organic peroxide materials. There were no injuries in the blast, but the terminal has been closed until further notice.

 

Ningbo is the world’s third-busiest container port, with volume of 33.35 million twenty-foot equivalent units in 2023.
