Czech authorities are investigating a deliberate fire at an arms firm, linked to Ukraine, as a potential terrorist act. Reports from Gazeta Express, published on March 21, 2026, at 12:45, detailed the outbreak of a fire at a warehouse in Pardubice, approximately 100 kilometers east of Prague. The facility produced drones and other military equipment, including a new guided missile.
This missile was planned for testing in combat within Ukraine this year. The fire occurred prior to the occupancy of the building by arms manufacturer LPP Holding. Investigators now believe the incident was intentionally set.
Officials are treating the event as a terrorist assault, citing evidence of its deliberate nature. A group calling itself the Earthquake Faction has claimed responsibility for the March 20th fire via Telegram. They described the facility as a “key production hub”.
The Czech investigation is focused on determining the motives behind this destructive fire and assessing its implications for security.
