At 1719 CET yesterday, the NINA citizen warning app ( https://www.bbk.bund.de/EN/Home/home_node.html ) triggered a German wide alert. Usually, small regions are marked to indicate bad weather situations like storms, floods, I have never seen a country-scope alert before.

Since the whole of Germany was marked in orange, I read the explanation was a low-likelihood threat warning caused by ISS battery debris (rather than an invasion from the East).




Wtf Nina didn't tell me anything at all, I have those alerts set on high. That's... concerning.
