**Deck**: Poland’s prime minister says a fire at a WB Electronics facility that makes components for FlyEye and Warmate drones used by Polish and Ukrainian forces was deliberate arson, and investigators are examining possible foreign intelligence involvement.

A fire that tore through a Polish defense facility making drone components was not an accident but deliberate sabotage, according to Poland’s prime minister, raising security concerns in a country that is a key supplier to Ukraine’s war effort.

The blaze hit a WB Electronics site that produces parts for FlyEye reconnaissance drones and Warmate loitering munitions, systems used by Polish forces and by Ukraine. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said there was “no doubt” the fire was intentional and called it an act of sabotage. Investigators are looking into possible involvement by a foreign intelligence service, after reports that CCTV footage captured a masked intruder at the scene.

FlyEye drones provide reconnaissance over the battlefield, helping spot enemy positions, artillery and troop movements. Warmate loitering munitions are small attack drones that can circle over an area before striking a target. Any interruption in the supply of components for these systems could quickly affect the front, where Ukrainian units already face equipment shortages and complex logistics.

Within Poland, the attack touches more than a single plant. It challenges the sense of safety in a country that has taken in large numbers of Ukrainian refugees, sent weapons to Ukraine and repeatedly warned about hostile covert activity. A suspected sabotage operation against a defense facility turns those warnings into a direct security issue for factories, depots and transport hubs.

Striking defense industry sites far from the battlefield is a relatively low-cost way for an adversary to disrupt a military supply chain. Drone systems have become central to how both Ukraine and Russia fight, and targeting production nodes can be more efficient than trying to neutralize every drone once it is deployed.

For workers at WB Electronics and residents nearby, the fire also changes how they see the plant. A workplace or industrial neighbor becomes a potential target when unknown actors are willing to set multiple fires in pursuit of political or strategic goals, with knock-on effects for safety procedures, insurance and community trust.

The key question now is who was behind the sabotage. If investigators publicly attribute the attack to a foreign state or organized network, that could trigger arrests, expulsions of suspected operatives, or new security measures across similar facilities.

Signals to watch include the results of the Polish investigation, any changes in security at defense plants across the country, and statements from Ukraine on whether the fire is affecting the availability of FlyEye and Warmate systems at the front.
