German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the country is facing daily attacks as part of a "hybrid war." This was reported by the Reuters news agency on August 9.

"We are not at war, but we are becoming the target of a hybrid war every day. Espionage, sabotage, cyber attacks or covert operations by foreign powers aimed at destabilizing Germany or causing direct harm are an ongoing reality," he said.

According to him, foreign countries seek to subjugate Germany politically and socially, inciting fear in society. Dobrindt stressed that this is a "reality" that Germany constantly faces.
