Two fires hit Polish defence plants in 24 hours, arson not ruled out
A fire destroyed a warehouse building in Lublin, Poland, on Sunday afternoon, gutting facilities owned by JFG Composites, a subcontractor to Leonardo's PZL-Świdnik helicopter plant. A second fire at a WB Electronics drone parts facility occurred within 24 hours. Polish authorities have not ruled out arson in either incident.
Why it matters: Poland is absorbing a sustained pattern of fires and sabotage at defence sites—if Russia is behind these incidents, Moscow is demonstrating it can disrupt NATO's eastern industrial base at will, and Warsaw's counter-intelligence apparatus has not yet found a way to stop it.
