U.S. Warns Defense Firms of Russian Sabotage Threat

Intelligence agencies urge heightened security after acts of sabotage in Europe linked to Moscow's efforts to disrupt Ukraine support.

U.S. intelligence officials issued a bulletin warning defense companies of sabotage risks tied to Russia's activities in Europe and potential threats within the United States.
The advisory highlights Russia's use of proxies, including criminals, to target European military installations, logistics hubs, and defense companies supporting Ukraine.
Recent incidents include arson attacks in the UK and Poland, as well as incendiary devices on cargo planes in Germany and England, allegedly orchestrated by Russian intelligence.
Companies are advised to enhance security, train employees on incident response, and limit online sharing of sensitive personal or professional information.
The bulletin underscores Russia's broader strategy to undermine Ukraine's allies through hybrid tactics, including sabotage, disinformation, and propaganda.
