Across Europe, security services are on high alert to a potential increase in subversive attacks, following a spate of arson and sabotage strikes on infrastructure and businesses in the Baltics, Germany and the UK.

Recent examples include a fire at a homeware store in Lithuania in May, which the Polish Prime Minister suggested may have been started by a foreign saboteur; investigators alleged an arson attack in London showed signs of overseas involvement; an inferno destroyed Poland’s biggest shopping mall and attempted sabotage on a military facility in Germany.
