Three suspects detained in Latvia over arson attack on Estonian defence company building
Three people have been detained in Latvia on suspicion of setting fire to a building belonging to Estonian defence firm Milrem Robotics in Tallinn, Estonian public broadcaster ERR reports.

Latvian authorities have detained three individuals suspected of involvement in an arson attack on a building belonging to the Estonian defence and security company Milrem Robotics in Tallinn. The news was reported by Estonia's public broadcaster ERR.
Milrem Robotics is known as an Estonian company specializing in the development of military and security technologies, including unmanned ground systems. The company's building in Tallinn was targeted in the fire attack, though the exact circumstances have not been made public in detail.
The source report does not provide further information about the identities of the detained individuals, their possible motives, or the precise timing of the incident. It also remains unclear whether Latvian and Estonian law enforcement agencies are jointly involved in the investigation, though the detentions taking place on Latvian territory suggest cross-border cooperation in resolving the case.
The incident draws attention to the security situation in the region, as attacks on defence-sector infrastructure are viewed as a potential security concern for the Baltic states. Further details about the progress of the investigation and the fate of the detained individuals are not yet available.
