Estonia Attributes Arson Attack on Defence Firm to Russian Security Services
Estonian authorities have attributed an arson attack on Milrem Robotics, a defence company supplying unmanned vehicles to Ukraine, to Russian security services. The August 15 fire in Tallinn was quickly controlled, and three Latvian suspects were detained and handed over to Estonia. Estonia views the incident as part of a broader pattern of sabotage linked to Russia aimed at destabilizing European support for Ukraine. Russia has denied involvement, calling the allegations unfounded. Estonia has summoned Russia's charge d'affaires over the matter.
