Fire at WB Electronics drone factory in Poland with suspicious individual spotted; investigation into potential sabotage underway.
A fire broke out overnight on August 30-31, 2026, at the WB Electronics factory in Skarżysko-Kamienna, Poland, which produces military drones and flight controllers for the Polish and Ukrainian armies. Surveillance cameras recorded an unknown individual wearing a balaclava entering the premises over a fence shortly before the fire started. Security sensors triggered an alert leading to police notification. An abandoned rucksack and a long-sleeved top were found near the factory. The Internal Security Agency and military counterintelligence were notified, and police opened an investigation. The fire was relatively small and extinguished within two hours. Officials are investigating possible sabotage.
Confidence: High
The incident involves a deliberate intrusion by an unknown masked individual onto a military drone factory producing drones used for Ukraine's defense, followed by a suspicious fire, indicative of sabotage attempts targeting strategic military infrastructure during ongoing hybrid conflict. The involvement of security agencies and counterintelligence supports this assessment.
