Pardubice Arson: RFE/RL Reports Possible Russian Link; Counter-Terrorism Investigation Continues

RFE/RL reported the Pardubice drone facility arson is being investigated as a possible Russian-linked operation. The 'Earthquake Faction' that claimed responsibility cited anti-Israel motives, but AP confirmed LPP Holding manufactures drone technologies used by Ukraine's armed forces, giving Russia a stronger operational motive. The group has no documented prior history and its online infrastructure appeared suspiciously close to the attack. NCTEKK and the Prosecutor General's Office have taken over the investigation from local police.
