Estonia Accuses Russia of Drone Factory Arson to Block Ukraine Aid

Estonia has blamed Russia for an arson attack in August on a Tallinn-based drone manufacturer supplying Ukraine, with European and NATO leaders expressing full support for the Baltic nation. The incident underscores Russian efforts to disrupt weapons supply chains supporting Ukraine's defense. The attack highlights the expanding conflict's reach into NATO territory and threatens European defense industrial capacity.
