  "summary": "Poland has launched a sabotage investigation into a drone factory fire south of Warsaw, suspecting involvement from a foreign intelligence service. The WB Electronics factory in Skarzysko-Kamienna, which manufactures key drone components, was engulfed in flames shortly after midnight on Monday, with firefighters managing to contain the blaze after two hours. No injuries were reported. The Internal Security Agency (ABW) is collaborating with the police on the probe, which is being conducted under suspicion of participation in activities of a foreign intelligence service directed against Poland and a terrorist offense involving the deliberate ignition of a fire using a flammable device. Earlier, the Polish government had accused Russia and Belarus of sending agents into the country to carry out acts of sabotage, reflecting the country's heightened security concerns following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. WB Electronics, Poland's largest private defense company and a major supplier to the Polish military, specializes in advanced defense technologies and unmanned strike systems.",
