Germany links arson attack near Ukraine-supplying drone maker Helsing to Russia's GRU
The arson attack took place in Munich on Sept. 3, when several incendiary devices were thrown from a passing car onto a construction site near the headquarters of Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing.
German investigators suspect Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, was behind an arson attack near the Munich offices of defense companies Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing on September 3, according to the Kyiv Independent. The incident, which saw incendiary devices thrown from a passing car onto a construction site, resulted in minimal damage and no injuries.
Two Bulgarian citizens, believed to be low-level operatives recruited by Russian intelligence, were detained in connection with the attack. This is the second such incident involving suspected Russian intelligence activity in a month, with the GRU also suspected of preparing an attack on Leipzig Airport in early August. The incident comes amid a rise in suspected acts of sabotage across Europe, with Western officials linking these activities to Russia.
