In response to the incidents, the local authorities are increasing security measures, including monitoring areas with high-risk objects like cigarette machines. Despite these measures, an individual was caught attempting to tamper with a cigarette machine in the free mountain region, resulting in a minor explosion. The police in Saxony are urging the public to report any suspicious activity related to these instances of criminality. Meanwhile, a local Saxony resident expressed their determination to install pyrotechnics in their saxophone, promising a unique New Year's Eve performance, emphasizing that they are an artist and not a pyrotechnician, thereby distinguishing their artistic intentions from the destructive acts.
