In France, unknown perpetrators executed a series of arson attacks on electrical infrastructure near defense industry facilities, including MBDA and KNDS factories, disrupting operations. The attacks occurred over the night of April 6-7, damaging transformers and power lines, affecting more than 3,000 households with electricity outages. Power supply was restored around 7:00 a.m., but full restoration will require several months. French police are investigating the incident as a coordinated attack. Such arson attacks targeting defense infrastructure sites disrupting electrical supply have increased in Europe since 2022, often linked to support for Ukraine. Similar sabotage incidents attributed to Russian intelligence occurred in Germany and Latvia. Germany's Military Counterintelligence Service (MAD) reported a doubling of Russian espionage and sabotage operations. Russian intelligence tactics resemble Cold War-era methods and target German naval assets. Previously, Russian operatives set fire to Bundeswehr military vehicles in Germany.
