In Germany, an attack was made on the Rheinmetall UAV center under construction

German police have launched an investigation into the deliberate arson of construction equipment at the site of the Rheinmetall defense concern at Kassel-Kalden airport. This was reported today, November 1, by Deutschlandfunk radio station with reference to law enforcement data.

The attackers destroyed three construction vehicles involved in the work. The reason for the operational measures was a statement of responsibility for the sabotage, published on one of the left-wing radical Internet platforms.

Rheinmetall planned to deploy a logistics and training center at the attacked site, as well as a base for testing drones, having invested over 260 million euros in the project jointly with the authorities of the state of Hesse.

The Interior Minister of Hesse, Roman Posek, called the incident a targeted political attack and stressed that the arson was part of a series of similar serious crimes in the region.
