Polish drone plant fire “undoubtedly” arson and likely ordered by Russia, says Tusk

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stated that a recent drone factory fire in Skarżysko-Kamienna, Poland, was "undoubtedly" arson and likely ordered by Russia. The fire, which occurred at a WB Electronics facility producing drones for Ukraine and Poland, is the latest in a series of incidents that Tusk claims are part of Russia's escalating aggression in the region.

Speaking ahead of a cabinet meeting, Tusk said the fires in Poland and Germany over the past few days constitute "a continuation of Russia's escalatory actions throughout the region." He noted that these events are not isolated and will likely continue to pose challenges for European countries due to Russia's intentions to destabilize the area.
