Agents of a foreign intelligence service were involved in setting
fire to a plant operated by a company that makes drones for the Polish and
Ukrainian militaries, Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office stated on Aug. 31.
The investigation is being led by a prosecutor from the
Małopolska branch of the National Prosecutor’s Office’s Department for
Organized Crime and Corruption.
According to investigators, the fire at WB Electronics SA’s
facility in Skarżysko-Kamienna began on Aug. 31 after an incendiary device
containing flammable materials was planted.
“The fire destroyed warehouse facilities, and the losses
amount to at least PLN15 million [$3.8 million],” prosecutors said.
The plant, located between Warsaw and Kraków, makes military
drone components used by both Poland and Ukraine.
Polish news outlet Onet reported that security cameras
recorded an unidentified person wearing a balaclava. The person entered the
facility by climbing over a fence. An abandoned backpack and a long-sleeved
shirt were later found near the plant.
