The suspected Russian sabotage plot involved incendiary devices in DHL packages, with one starting a fire in Leipzig, aiming at potential attacks on the UK and North America.
Counter-terror police in the UK confirmed an incendiary device caught fire in Birmingham; officials mentioned no injuries occurred, emphasizing the response by local fire services.
Four arrests were made in Poland regarding the plot, seen as an effort to test the transfer channel for dangerous parcels intended for the US and Canada.
The exact choice of the UK as a target remains unclear, but the devices were addressed to fake recipients at accurate UK addresses, raising concerns of broader sabotage.
