Slovakia police thwart arson attack on drone factory
Slovak authorities have thwarted a planned arson attack targeting a drone manufacturing facility in eastern Slovakia. The operation, conducted by the anti-organized crime unit ÚBOK, was based on intelligence provided by the Slovak Information Service (SIS) and Military Intelligence.
Three foreign nationals have been charged with preparing an especially serious crime of public endangerment, allegedly acting as accomplices on order. Two suspects were detained in Slovakia, while a third was apprehended in Germany following a European arrest warrant.
During the raid, police seized an incendiary mixture of gasoline and polystyrene, described by experts as napalm, along with tools, mobile phones, an action camera, and a handwritten plan. Authorities noted that the facility contained approximately 70 employees at the time of the planned attack and held property valued at tens of millions of euros. No injuries or property damage were reported due to the timely intervention.
