Key Points:

A fire at WB Electronics, a major Polish drone component manufacturer, is suspected to be an arson attack involving foreign intelligence services, according to Polish prosecutors.
The factory, located in Skarżysko-Kamienna, produces reconnaissance drones and loitering munitions used by Ukraine against Russian forces, and the fire was quickly extinguished with no injuries reported.
Prosecutors are treating the incident as a "terrorist crime" and are investigating the deliberate use of flammable materials to start the fire.
This event is part of a series of suspected attacks on infrastructure linked to European military support for Ukraine, which Western authorities have increasingly attributed to Russia.
The suspected arsonist remains unidentified and at large, with investigations ongoing into the involvement of foreign intelligence services.
