💢 Fire destroys Czech facility tied to Elbit drone partnership as new direct action group claims responsibility A group calling itself the “Earthquake Faction” has set fire to a facility in Pardubice, Czech Republic, where Czech firm LPP Holding and Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems were working to build a “Centre of Excellence” for drones and unmanned systems. ➤ In a statement, the group describing itself as an “internationalist underground network,” said it targeted the facility because it develops weapons used “to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia.” ➤ The site was reportedly empty and no one was harmed. Photos show a large industrial building engulfed in flames, with Czech authorities investigating the incident as suspected arson. ➤ The group signaled further action, saying it aims to “destroy all limbs of empire from within, by any means effective,” targeting infrastructure linked to Israel.
