Warsaw - Terrorism investigation launched after fire at Polish drone factory
Deutschlandfunk reports that Poland has opened a terrorism investigation after a fire at a WB Electronics drone factory. Prosecutors are examining whether a foreign intelligence service carried out deliberate sabotage. The case matters beyond Poland because WB Electronics produces drone technology for Poland's defence sector and supplies systems used by Ukraine, making the factory part of the wider European defence-production network.

Why it matters
This report is assigned to the Global Security dossier. It matters because it adds a concrete new trail in the current source window. The brief uses 3 sources in the surrounding context while keeping timestamp, publisher and original URL visible.
Trust assessment
Public broadcaster or established direct source. The report remains medium until an independent second trail visibly supports the same core claim.
Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
