ESTONIA ACCUSES RUSSIA OF ARSON AT DEFENSE COMPANY SUPPLYING UKRAINE...

Estonian authorities say Russian intelligence ordered an arson attack on Milrem Robotics on August 14-15, a company that manufactures unmanned combat vehicles for Ukraine. Three Latvian suspects arrested in the case had been living in Russia and allegedly carried out previous sabotage operations. The accusation fits a pattern: across August alone, NATO allies reported suspected Russian involvement in incidents ranging from a drone-laden explosive at a German airport to fires at defense facilities in Bulgaria, Italy, and Poland. NATO and EU officials have dismissed Russia's denials and vowed the attacks won't diminish military support for Ukraine.
