Estonia's government said its internal security service has attributed the August 15 fire at Milrem Robotics' building on Betooni Street in Tallinn to an operation commissioned by Russian special services. Authorities said the fire was quickly contained and no lives were at risk. Two Latvian suspects were detained on August 17 and a third on August 18; all three were handed over to Estonia on September 17 and 18. The criminal investigation continues, and Estonian officials described the case as part of a broader Russian campaign of sabotage in Europe.
