Latvia authorities have detained two suspects in connection with an arson attack on the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics in Tallinn. The incident, which occurred on August 15, is believed to be deliberate and premeditated, according to the Estonian Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation is currently focusing on possible Russian involvement.
Three suspects are under suspicion, but the identities of the individuals have not been disclosed. The two detained individuals were apprehended in Latvia following an authorization issued by an Estonian court, with the third arrest expected soon. The prosecutor’s office is examining all theories, including sabotage with possible Russian participation.
Milrem Robotics, a company specializing in unmanned ground vehicles for military use, reported that the fire did not impact production, supply chains, or equipment deliveries to Ukraine. The Russian embassy in Tallinn has not commented on the matter, and Estonian authorities have not presented any evidence of Russian involvement in the arson.
There were no injuries reported following the fire, which broke out overnight on August 15 at the Milrem Robotics facility.
