Slovak police prevented the arson of a Ukrainian drone manufacturing plant, local media report
Slovak police 25 August detained three foreign nationals on suspicion of conspiring to set fire to the Ukraine-owned Skyeton plant, which produces modern unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance, Dennik N reports.
Two suspects were detained in Slovakia and the third was arrested in Germany. In its statement, the Slovak police did not disclose the detainees’ nationalities.
The alleged conspirators’ actions could have triggered a “large-scale fire” at the facility, where about 70 people were present at the time of the incident and the property was valued at “tens of millions of euros,” the police said.
Police seized an incendiary mixture of gasoline and polystyrene (a homemade equivalent of napalm), as well as tools, mobile phones, an action camera, and a hand-drawn map of the facility they reportedly planned to set on fire.
