Drone Manufacturer’s Office Set on Fire in Czech Republic

On March 20, a fire broke out at an industrial facility belonging to LPP Holding, a company linked to defense projects, in the Czech city of Pardubice.

Czech police confirmed the fire and reported that they are investigating the possibility of arson, according to Reuters.

The incident was accompanied by a video from the scene showing a large-scale fire on the company’s premises.

Meanwhile, the local publication Aktuálně.cz reported that it had received an email from individuals calling themselves the “Earthquake Faction.”

The email claims that this group, which describes itself as pro-Palestinian activists, organized the arson attack on the facility.

The authors of the message refer to the facility as a “production center for Israeli weapons” and claim to have destroyed the equipment.

The facility belongs to the Czech company LPP Holding, which collaborates with the Israeli firm Elbit Systems.

Previously, the companies had announced plans to launch the production and development of unmanned systems in Pardubice.

According to the fire department, there were no casualties as a result of the incident.

There is currently no official confirmation of any group’s involvement in the arson, and the investigation is ongoing.

Recently a facility housing volunteers who were assisting the Ukrainian Armed Forces was set on fire in Finland.
