According to the latest online reports, at least 50 firefighters are tackling the blaze which started ‘suddenly’. It is also being reported that due to the nature of the fire, it could take many hours to extinguish it.
The Nexta news outlet said that the factory supplies drone technology to around 70 countries globally, including government and commercial clients. Ukraine is also said to be one of its customers.
