Suspects planned arson attack on drone maker Skyeton, Slovak prosecution says
Police found an incendiary mixture and an attack plan during a raid, and extradition proceedings are under way for one suspect detained in Hamburg.
- On Thursday, Slovak prosecutors announced that three suspects planned an arson attack targeting the Skyeton drone manufacturing facility located in eastern Slovakia.
- Skyeton produces intelligence drones for Western markets at its Slovak site while a sister facility supplies the Ukrainian army, prompting the company to claim the plot proves Ukrainian defence producers have become a "thorn in Russians' side and that we are on the right path."
- Authorities detained three suspects: two in Slovakia and one 26-year-old Latvian in Hamburg, where police discovered an incendiary mixture and a specific plan for the attack during a raid.
- The court in Presov ruled Thursday that the two suspects detained in Slovakia will remain in custody pending investigation, while extradition proceedings are underway for the suspect captured in Hamburg.
- Slovak Defence Minister Robert Kalinak stated the Slovak site held no export licences for eastern markets, and the Russian embassy in Bratislava did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the alleged commission-based attack.
