The Metropolitan Police released a video describing a £1 million fire incident in London that was a livestreamed attack orchestrated by the Russian Wagner Group. The attack was framed as a terror plot against British soil. The video, published about 5 months ago, highlights how British drug dealers were lured into the attack through social media. Public reactions in the comments call for strong legal consequences for those involved and praise the police investigation and arrests. The attack underscores Russian hybrid warfare tactics using proxy criminal networks and social media manipulation to destabilize the UK.
