У Німеччині спалахнула пожежа на майданчику майбутнього центру випробування дронів Rheinmetall
What happened
Three construction vehicles burned down overnight on 30 October at the Rheinmetall site at Kassel-Calden airport in Germany, and police suspect arson, Ukrinform reported.
A witness alerted rescuers and police around 03:15, and firefighters put out the blaze, according to police; the fire also damaged other vehicles parked nearby.
Because a political motive is possible, the case was handed to the state security unit of the North Hesse police, which was not commenting on the extent of the damage on Friday morning.
Circumstances and possible motives are still being established, and the report mentions no arrests or any role for foreign intelligence services.
Police say the airport grounds are earmarked for a Rheinmetall logistics and training centre and a drone testing centre.
In August, Rheinmetall and the state of Hesse announced an investment of more than 260 million euros in the site.
