Estonia closes border to Russia after suspected drone factory arson

Estonia foiled an attempted Russian arson attack on a drone fractory, authorities said on Sunday, prompting the country to close all border crossings with its larger neighbor. Prime Minister Karsten Michal said that Russia's GRU intelligence service had attempted to sabotage the Estonian defence company Threod Systems in Viimsi on Saturday night. He said "extensive damage" had been averted after a response by law enforcement, who detained the suspected attackers. "This is part of Russia's broader hybrid war against Europe, with the aim of decreasing support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia," Michal said.
