In Estonia, eight Latvian citizens were arrested on suspicion of attempting to fire at a defense plant ordered by Russia, suspected of trying to shoot at Threod Systems. Reported by ERR. According to Estonian prosecutor Asserid Asi, they tried to enter the organization’s premises in Vaimisi, north of Tallinn, on the night of November 13-14. The arson attempt was thwarted by Threod Systems. No one was injured in the incident. The CEO of Estonia’s internal defense ministry, Margot Plusson, said that counter‑warfare confirmed Russia’s involvement in the arson attempt. He said the operation was coordinated by the chief intelligence director (GRU). This is part of Russia’s broader hybrid war against Europe, aimed at weakening support for Ukraine and pressuring Russia. We cannot be intimidated. Estonia is preparing to close the border with Russia to reduce risk to its citizens and national security, Prime Minister Kristjan Mikkel tweeted on Twitter. This is the second known attempt to set fire to an Estonian defense plant this year. Thus, on the night of Saturday, August 15, a fire broke out at the Milrem Robotics plant in Tallinn. The company manufactures unmanned combat vehicles and works closely with Ukraine. Two people were arrested on suspicion of arson. Estonia also accused Russia of organizing it.
