A presumed Russian incendiary gadget that ignited inside a British shipping storage facility this summer was powerful enough to down an airplane, the Guardianreported Tuesday, citing recently emerged images.In July, a series of firing up packages at logistics depots in Germany and Britain were connected to an alleged Russian sabotage campaign focused on activating surges on freight flights.The Guardian published a photo of the fire from a DHL warehouse in Birmingham, which it stated supports intelligence assessments that the blast was strong enough to have reduced a cargo plane.The light of the blaze on the image is consistent with fires caused by a magnesium-based device.The Guardian cited professionals as saying that using combustible magnesium, which is hard to put out when ignited, recommends the desire to cause damage.British policesaid in October that counter-terrorism police were examining the July 22 incident, which it stated did not cause significant damage or injuries.The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Western intelligence firms believe the incendiary gadgets that caught fire in Europe belonged to a hidden Russian operation.The Kremlin told WSJ it had actually not heard main allegations of Russian involvement in the incidents.In October, Poland revealed thearrest of 4 individuals in connection with a supposed plot to mail camouflaged explosives to Canada and the United States by means of EU nations and the U.K., which spontaneously fired up while being transported.
