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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
