BUCHAREST — Romanian authorities announced that a fire which broke out in September near a domestic weapons factory was orchestrated by a Russia-directed sabotage network. Officials stated the incident forms part of a wider campaign targeting European nations that provide support to Ukraine.
According to investigators, the covert network targeted infrastructure associated with military supply chains. While the fire occurred near the manufacturing facility, authorities confirmed the operation is tied to escalating efforts by foreign operatives to disrupt Western backing for Kyiv.
The disclosure highlights ongoing security concerns across Europe regarding clandestine operations directed against strategic supply lines and defense manufacturing sites.
