Moscow likely behind drone-factory arson, says Poland’s Tusk
The incident comes amid an intensification of suspected Russian attacks targeting facilities linked to military production supporting Ukraine.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stated that the recent arson attack on a Polish drone factory, which supplies weapons to Ukraine, is likely the work of Russia. The factory, WB Electronics, was the site of a fire on Monday morning, which has been classified as a "terrorist crime" by Polish prosecutors. Tusk's comments come amid a rise in suspected Russian attacks targeting military production and support facilities for Ukraine.
In addition to the WB Electronics fire, a second fire broke out at a JFG Composites facility in Lublin on Sunday, both incidents occurring on the same day. The attacks have prompted Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government to accuse Russia and announce retaliatory measures, with EU officials backing Germany and calling for further visa restrictions.
