Associated Press Published: 8:07pm, 29 Sep 2026 Estonian authorities said on Tuesday they had concluded that an arson attack in mid-August on a defence company that provides military vehicles to Ukraine was an act of sabotage commissioned by Russian security services. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that “such actions are absolutely unacceptable” and that Russia ’s charge d’affaires in Tallinn was being summoned to his ministry. A fire broke out overnight on August 15 at a building in Estonia ’s capital used by Milrem Robotics, but was quickly brought under control, the BNS news agency reported. On August 17, two Latvian suspects were detained in neighbouring Latvia , and a third followed the next day. The suspects were handed over to Estonia.
Milrem has supplied THEMIS unmanned ground vehicles to Ukraine.
