Russian saboteurs started a fire at a Berlin factory that manufactures air-defense systems

 

 Western security officials say Russian saboteurs started a fire last month at a Berlin factory that manufactures air-defense systems. The blaze affected operations at the Diehl Metal Applications factory, and the fire began “in an area to which only a few people had access,” the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. “European countries, seeking to avoid escalation, have been cautious about publicly blaming Moscow, but privately security officials say Russia appears to be stepping up attacks on civilian and military sites and people in Europe connected with efforts to help Ukraine fend off invading Russian troops,” the Journal writes.
