Estonia accuses Russia of sponsoring arson at Milrem Robotics plant

Bottom line

Estonian PM Kallas and FM Tsahkna accuse Russian SVR of sponsoring arson at Milrem Robotics plant in Lasnamäe; Kremlin denies claims.

Why it matters

NATO allies should enhance security for defense industry facilities, particularly those supplying Ukraine, and be prepared for increased Russian hybrid attacks on critical infrastructure.

Estonian PM Krištjan Kallas and FM Margus Tsahkna accuse Russian SVR of sponsoring arson at Milrem Robotics plant in Lasnamäe, with Latvia arresting suspects and extraditing them to Estonia. The Kremlin dismisses claims as baseless. Milrem Robotics is a key defense robotics company supplying Ukraine, making this incident a significant escalation in hybrid warfare tactics targeting defense infrastructure.
