Young Bosnian arrested in Germany over ‘terror' plot
German police early Wednesday arrested a young Bosnian man and conducted several searches in the west of the country to investigate the financing of an '[extremist] terrorist attack.' The 27-year-old suspect was arrested in an early morning operation by a specialized police unit in the Essen and Dortmund region, local police and the public prosecutor's office said in a statement. They did not give details about the planned attack, including where or how it was to be carried out, but said the investigation was ongoing. According to the German daily Bild, the suspect had received military training. Several searches have been carried out in the region at the homes of other people, who are currently considered witnesses. The police investigation began due to suspicions of organized fraud, and authorities later determined that the funds collected 'were to be used to finance an [extremist] terrorist attack', the statement said.

EU to impose new sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet, says Germany's foreign ministry
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has announced stepped-up surveillance after suspicious activity involving Russia's shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea. Source: German newspaper Zeit, citing Wadephul in an interview with the German media, as reported by European Pravda Details: Wadephul noted that "the security situation has continued to escalate in recent months". "We are very concerned about severed cables, disrupted signals and suspicious ships," the German foreign minister stressed. He therefore announced increased patrols and new sanctions targeting the shadow fleet Moscow uses to bypass existing restrictions. "As neighbours, as NATO and as the EU, we are doing everything we can to counter hybrid threats, including through additional patrols," he emphasised. "Russia poses a threat to all of us in the Baltic Sea region." Wadephul described Russia's shadow fleet as a serious security threat and said the EU will "directly impose new sanctions" on the vessels Moscow uses to circumvent restrictions. "This also helps Ukraine, because the shadow fleet transports oil every day, which Russia sells bypassing sanctions," the German foreign minister added. Background: A few days ago, the Estonian Navy attempted to stop the Jaguar tanker as it passed through international waters in the Gulf of Finland, heading towards the port of Primorsk. The vessel is believed to be part of Russia's shadow fleet. The tanker's crew reportedly refused to comply with instructions from Estonian border guards, but the vessel eventually left Estonian economic waters. Notably, the tanker is on the UK sanctions list. In response to Estonia's actions, Russia dispatched a fighter jet that, according to the Estonian military, violated the country's airspace. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated that the incident shows that Russia is ready to defend its shadow fleet. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
