Poland launches sabotage probe in drone factory fire
According to the prosecution, the fire that occurred at a drone factory 150 kilometers south of Warsaw was deliberately set.
Poland has initiated a probe into a fire at a drone production facility south of Warsaw, suspecting terrorism and foreign intelligence involvement. Prosecutors stated the investigation was launched for alleged participation in foreign intelligence activities directed against Poland and for a terrorist offense involving arson using a flammable device at the WB Electronics factory in Skarzysko-Kamienna, 150 km south of Warsaw.
The factory, which manufactures drone components, was engulfed in flames shortly after midnight on Monday. Firefighters managed to contain the blaze within two hours, with no injuries reported. The Internal Security Agency (ABW) is cooperating with the police on the inquiry. Previously, the Polish government accused Russia and Belarus of sending agents to Poland to carry out sabotage.
As Ukraine's ally following Russia's invasion, Poland has bolstered security spending and military strength out of concern for potential Russian attacks. WB Electronics, Poland's largest private defense firm, provides advanced defense technologies, including unmanned strike systems, to the Polish military.
