Poland has opened a “terror” probe into a fire at a factory supplying parts for drones for Ukraine.
The Polish National Prosecution Office announced the launch of the investigation on Monday. While no details were offered, Russia is widely suspected of running sabotage operations across Europe against facilities supplying Ukraine as it defends itself against Moscow’s invasion.
According to the prosecution statement, the probe has been launched to investigate “participation in the activities of a foreign intelligence service directed against the Republic of Poland and for a terrorist offence, consisting of deliberately causing a fire on the premises of the WB Electronics factory using a device containing flammable materials”.
The WB Electronics factory in Skarzysko-Kamienna, located south of Warsaw, was reported to have caught fire shortly after midnight. دا تاسیسات د ډرون لپاره کلیدي برخې جوړوي کوم چې پولنډ او اوکرایني ځواکونو ته ورکول کیږي.
اور وژونکو دوه ساعته د اور په قابو کولو لګیا وو. چارواکو وویل، د هیواد داخلي امنیت اداره د پولیسو سره په تحقیقاتو کې مرسته کوي.
No details have been provided to the public at this stage “due to their specific and confidential nature,” an agency spokesman wrote on social media.
WB Electronics د پولنډ یو له لوی خصوصي دفاعي شرکتونو څخه دی. It manufactures loitering munitions, drones, fire-control systems and military-related communication tools and platforms. د اوکراین پوځ له FlyEye او Warmate ډرون څخه کار اخلي.
یو شمیر اروپايي هیوادونه چې د اوکراین ملاتړ کوي د داسې پیښو راپور ورکړی چې ګمان کیږي د روسانو لخوا د تخریب کار دی.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters in August that a Russian citizen was detained “who had been recruited by Russian services to carry out assassination in Warsaw”.
In another incident, an unexploded drone was discovered at a German airport earlier in August.
پولنډ د روسیې د بریدونو د ویرې له امله خپل امنیتي لګښتونه او پوځي وړتیاوې زیاتې کړي دي. WB Electronics is a key supplier to the Polish military.
