In a recent development, a graffiti reading "Sabotage" was discovered near Coburg's train station on Saturday, 1st September, 2025. The graffiti, approximately five meters wide, was found 50 meters from the site of the previous sabotage attack that occurred two and a half weeks prior.

The graffiti was initially discovered by maintenance workers during their routine checks. It is located near the train station in Coburg, specifically near the exit, and is being investigated for a potential connection to the sabotage attack on the city's rail traffic.

The graffiti is considered a potential lead in the ongoing investigation. It is suspected to be a warning or a threat related to the previous sabotage attack. Despite its discovery, the graffiti is not believed to have caused any immediate disruptions to the rail traffic.

The estimated cost of repairing the graffiti is not specified in the report. The police are the source of the reported information about the graffiti and the sabotage attack.
