In August, a fire broke out at Milrem Robotics, an Estonian defence company that supplies unmanned ground vehicles to Ukraine. Tallinn has accused Moscow of ordering the arson attack.

Milrem Robotics is a leading developer of unmanned ground vehicles and has been a key supplier to Ukrainian forces amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Estonian authorities say the blaze was deliberate and linked to Russian involvement, though no independent investigation has yet confirmed the claim.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Estonia and Russia, following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions against Russian‑linked businesses.

International observers have called for a thorough investigation to determine the perpetrators and motives behind the attack.
