On October 26, 2026, it was reported that the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), in collaboration with domestic and international partners, uncovered a network coordinated from Russia. This network was involved in an arson incident at the Carfil industrial site in Brașov, which occurred on September 14, 2026.
Details of the Carfil Incident
The fire at the Carfil facility, a subsidiary of the state-owned CN Romarm corporation, resulted in serious consequences. Several companies' offices located nearby were affected, raising concerns about the security of defense objects in Romania and the European Union.
Involved Individuals and Investigation
The investigation conducted by SRI revealed that several citizens from post-Soviet states living in EU countries were linked to the network. This indicates a possible organization of diversionary actions on European territory aimed at destabilizing the situation in the region.
Government Response
The Romanian authorities are actively responding to this situation, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the security of defense enterprises. Cooperation with international partners aims not only to investigate this case but also to prevent similar incidents in the future.
