On the night of 15 August 2026, a fire broke out at the Milrem Robotics building in Tallinn's Lasnamäe district, attributed with full confidence by the Estonian Internal Security Service to sabotage commissioned by Russian special services. The arson is seen as part of Russia's wider campaign to intimidate European states and diminish their support for Ukraine. Three suspects, Latvian citizens believed to have directly carried out the attack, were detained in Latvia and handed over to Estonia in September. No lives were endangered, and the investigation is ongoing. Estonian officials reaffirmed their commitment to security and continued support for Ukraine, also emphasizing increased preparedness against similar provocations.
