Estonia Accuses Russia of Arson Sabotage on Defense Firm Milrem Robotics

Estonia has officially accused Russian state actors of orchestrating an arson attack on Milrem Robotics in Tallinn on August 15, framing it as part of a broader Russian sabotage campaign against Western democracies. This attribution, based on Estonian Security Police findings, directly links Russian special services to covert action against NATO defense infrastructure, specifically a company supplying military robotics to Ukraine. The claim is officially stated by Estonia but awaits independent corroboration.
