A fire attack near a German arms manufacturing site in Munich was quickly suppressed by police, with two Bulgarian nationals detained shortly after the incident. Authorities suspect the attack could have been ordered by a Russian intelligence service using low-level or disposable agents (Wegwerfagenten) to conduct sabotage operations. The attack is part of a pattern of hybrid warfare tactics involving sabotage, espionage, drone attacks, and disinformation campaigns aimed at weakening states without open warfare. Related incidents include a similar sabotage attempt on drones at Leipzig/Halle airport and multiple arrests across Europe for espionage targeting German arms firms. Additionally, sabotage attempts on power substations in Germany remain under investigation, though their connection to these hybrid operations is unclear. The attackers aimed at critical infrastructure, causing concern for public safety and highlighting ongoing Russian hybrid threats in the region.
