Estonia Says Russia Behind Summer Attack on Robotics Firm

Estonia has said that Russia was behind an attack on a robotics company carried out over the summer, according to a report from Euronews' Spanish-language edition.

The report situates the accusation within a broader pattern affecting European countries, which it says have already faced multiple incursions by Russian drones as well as a covert Russian destabilization campaign that began after Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

The report did not name the robotics company involved or specify the exact date of the attack beyond describing it as occurring over the summer. It also did not detail what evidence Estonian authorities cited in attributing the attack to Russia.

European governments have increasingly reported incidents they attribute to Russian state actors or Russian-linked operatives since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, including drone sightings near sensitive sites, sabotage attempts, and other covert activities that officials describe as part of a broader campaign of destabilization.

Russia has generally denied involvement in such incidents when accused by European governments, though the report did not include a specific Russian response to the Estonian accusation regarding the robotics company attack.

Further details on Estonia's investigation and any response from Russian authorities were not available in the report.
