- Two individuals, a 37-year-old Romanian and a 54-year-old Greek, were arrested for allegedly tampering with German naval vessels by disabling safety features and damaging components.
- The suspects are accused of deactivating electronic safety switches, removing fuel tank caps, puncturing water supply lines, and dumping abrasive gravel into a ship's engine while working at a port in Germany.
