Russian agents researched fire protocols at a factory owned by a German arms firm shortly before it burst into flames last summer, The Telegraph can reveal.
Western officials have long suspected that the blaze, which broke out in May 2024 at a Berlin factory owned by the Diehl group, was the work of Russian saboteurs trying to disrupt the supply chain of arms deliveries to Ukraine.
But it can now be revealed that suspected Russian agents tried to find out information about fire safety measures around the site in the run-up to the incident.
