Poland investigates potential “foreign intelligence” involvement in fire at drone plant
The fire broke out at a facility belonging to WB Electronics, Europe's largest drone maker.
Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into a suspected "terrorist crime" involving "foreign intelligence" in a fire at a drone manufacturing facility in Skarżysko-Kamienna, Poland. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on August 31, 2026, at WB Electronics' storage facilities, which produce components for drones used by the Polish and Ukrainian armed forces.
No injuries were reported when the fire was extinguished. Polish authorities claim the blaze may have been deliberately ignited, as a separate fire at a warehouse in Lublin, Poland also supplied drone components for Ukraine, was reported on Sunday.
