Czech authorities have launched a probe into a fire that broke out at a warehouse of a company that makes drones and other military equipment, including a new cruise missile it was reportedly planning to test in combat in Ukraine this year. The fire occurred at the UAV Defense Solutions facility in Polička. Given the company's involvement in supplying critical defense technology to Ukraine, the National Center for Combating Terrorism, Regional and Online Crime (NCOZ) has taken over the investigation. This incident occurs amid heightened alerts across Europe regarding Russian hybrid warfare and sabotage operations targeting the supply chain for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
