A fire last month at a German factory manufacturing air-defense systems, owned by Diehl, was caused by Russian saboteurs, according to Western security officials. The WSJ reports that the attack is seen as part of the Kremlin's increasingly aggressive clandestine operations aimed at disrupting shipments of critical arms and ammunition to Ukraine. Security officials have raised concerns about this incident as a sign of escalating grey zone warfare by Russia.
