Estonia says Russian special services commissioned arson at Milrem Robotics site in Tallinn, with three suspects in custody
Estonian authorities say Russian security services commissioned an August 15 arson attack at Milrem Robotics' Tallinn site, a company that supplies THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles to Ukraine. The fire was contained without loss of life, and three Latvian suspects arrested two days later were extradited to Estonia in September and remain in custody. The attribution comes from Estonia's official investigation; criminal proceedings are continuing, and the allegation should not be presented as a completed court finding. The case also illustrates European concern that Russian hybrid operations are targeting companies supporting Ukrainian defense.
