Summary

Estonian authorities, including the Internal Security Service and Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, have accused Russian intelligence services of orchestrating an arson attack on Milrem Robotics, a defense company in Tallinn, on August 15, 2026. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the allegations, calling them baseless and unsupported. Estonia characterizes the incident as part of a broader Russian campaign to undermine European support for Ukraine. Three suspects were detained in Latvia and handed over to Estonian authorities; the investigation is ongoing and those arrested pose no further threat. Authorities seized data storage devices and items that may have been used to light the fire. NATO and several European allies condemned the reported attack and reaffirmed support for Ukraine. Estonia has summoned the Russian ambassador and stated it will respond with increased pressure on Russia, stricter sanctions, and continued support for Ukraine.
