European officials accused Moscow of being behind an arson attack on an Estonian defense manufacturing facility, calling it the latest in a string of sabotage incidents tied to the Kremlin.
Emmanuel Macron said the attack marked a “dangerous escalation,” linking it to Germany’s accusation that Russia was behind a failed drone attack at Leipzig airport in August.
European Commission spokesman Christian Wigand said Russia was acting “recklessly,” underscoring a widening European response to alleged covert attacks on security-related targets.
