Russia-linked DHL fire in Birmingham left Amazon container ‘100% destroyed
The Russia-linked fire at a DHL depot left a pallet of Amazon deliveries '100% destroyed' after staff managed to move it out of the building, according to newly released documents. The blaze was discovered 'immediately' after the packed metal container brought in by air caught alight on July 22 last year at the warehouse in Minworth, a suburb of Birmingham. Fresh details about the incident have been released today after the information commissioner ordered West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) to disclose a time log and incident report. The redacted documents back up reports that the blaze could have had serious consequences if it had broken out on an airliner. In November, a Polish intelligence chief said that the suspected Russian arson attack was a test run for future sabotage targeting the US. Pawel Szota, speaking after Poland arrested four people alleged to have been involved, added that if the devices had exploded in the air, it would have been a major escalation against the West. The UK's investigation into the incident, which came just days after another air freight package caught fire at a DHL facility in Germany, is being undertaken by Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism officers. A 38-year-old Romanian man was arrested by the UK investigation team in March on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service after flying into Stansted Airport. He was taken to a London police station and was due to be released on bail last month. Firefighters responded after the alarm was raised at 03:41 by a person at the Prologis Park Midpoint site, which handles parcels for delivery, who reported a '6ft fire' in a metal storage pallet. The caller said it had been placed outside the building and was 'unsure' of what it contained, according to the time-stamped record. The log states that the 5ft by 4ft pallet containing Amazon delivery parcels had 'initially set on fire inside the DHL building.' The document continues: 'However DHL staff removed this to outside car park. 100% of items on pallet destroyed by fire.' A fire crew from Erdington used a hose reel and liaised with DHL staff as they tackled the blaze, with the building having been evacuated. The time between ignition and discovery is recorded as 'immediately', with the cause or motive marked as 'accidental' based on the information available at the time. A slight delay to the response was caused by the crew of four being sent to the wrong location, according to the incident report. There have not been any reports of injuries or significant damage caused by the blaze, which occupied the firefighters for just over an hour. Cross-referenced with pictures obtained by the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian of the incident, the information suggests that a worker in a forklift acted swiftly in moving the burning container out of harm's way. A Russian covert operation was suspected of sending the incendiary devices into the UK and Germany, according to Western security officials who spoke to the American title. The fire service had tried to prevent the logs being released under the Freedom of Information Act, initially releasing only a one-line statement from a spreadsheet categorising the incident as an accident. The authority said: 'We cannot provide the incident log or a report directly as these are only available to the owner of the property.' Asked for a fuller picture, the authority then cited personal information and also made a brief reference to national security and health and safety, saying that exemptions for the latter reasons 'may' apply. After the Metro complained to the Information Commissioner's Office, the watchdog ruled in a 13-page decision that the information should be released in redacted form. The commissioner found the 'limited arguments' made by the fire service for a national security exemption unconvincing, writing: 'The level of detail within the incident log and incident report, in relation to this specific event, is limited and the commissioner finds the arguments to be generic rather than specific to this particular case.' The commissioner also rejected the fire service's argument that the release of vehicle fleet information or response procedures could endanger personnel in future, finding that these could be redacted and were in any case only briefly referenced. Addressing the authority's attempt to block the disclosure on the grounds that the information had been 'collected in confidence', the watchdog said: 'WMFS has not sufficiently demonstrated that there is any obligation of confidence or that there would be any detriment to consider.' Releasing the information in redacted form, the fire service said that personal information and national security exemptions had been applied. The response states: 'The service has applied Section 38 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to withhold the release of vehicle call signs and other operational identifiers. 'Disclosure of such information could compromise operational effectiveness by revealing details critical to firefighting duties. 'It may also increase the risk of impersonation of emergency personnel or facilitate malicious interference with emergency response activities. More Trending 'This poses a significant threat to public safety and the safety of our personnel. There is a compelling public interest in safeguarding critical national infrastructure and maintaining national security.' A DHL spokesperson told Metro: 'This relates to an ongoing investigation, so we are unable to provide any comment on these developments. 'DHL continues to work closely with the respective authorities to support and enforce industry-wide safety and security directives.' Do you have a story you would like to share?

Ukrainian sniper claims world record 4,000-metre kill shot - 200 metres further than 2023 record achieved by another of Kyiv's marksmen
A Ukrainian sniper has claimed to shatter the world record for the longest kill shot in history after eliminating two Russian troops from an astonishing distance of 4,000 metres. The soldier beat the previous world record for long-distance assassination set by another one of Kyiv 's marksmen in 2023 by 200 metres, according to Ukraine 's 24 Channel. A video published on Telegram shows the sniper pair - the shooter and the spotter - making the lethal strike on the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad defensive line. The record was set using a 14.5mm Snipex Alligator rifle, from which a bullet was launched in the Pokrovsky direction and travelled through a window in a building behind which Russian servicemen were located, left of a visible rooftop pipe. The historic shot was fired on August 14 and was guided by artificial intelligence working with a drone reconnaissance complex. It occurred on the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad defensive line, within the responsibility zone of Ukraine's 'Donetsk' operational group. The previous world record for the longest kill shot belonged to 58-year-old SBU sniper Vyacheslav Kovalsky, a Ukrainian who killed a Russian soldier 3,800 meters in the Kherson region using a multi-caliber Horizon's Lord rifle. At the time, the country's special forces said their shooters were 'rewriting the rules of global sniping' using Ukrainian-made weapons. The soldier beat the previous world record for long-distance assassination set by another one of Kyiv 's marksmen in 2023 by 200 metres, according to Ukraine 's 24 Channel While not all shots cover as much ground as the purported 4,000 metres Ukraine said its Snipex Alligator achieved, sharpshooters' high-precision kills have beaten the odds and saved countless lives during conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The fast-paced nature of firefights means even the highest-spec technology cannot always keep pace in challenging battlefield environments, making snipers' reconnaissance and communication skills invaluable to their battalions. US army sniper instructor Staff Sgt. Michael Turner explained: 'We've got drones, we've got robots, we've got all kinds of stuff… but we still need that real-time battlefield information that keeps soldiers safe.' Before the 2023 success of Ukraine's 'Lord of the Horizon', the previous world record was held by a Canadian special operations sniper at a distance of 3,540 metres in 2017. And before that, the world record was held by British sniper Craig Harrison, after he shot down a Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2009 from a distance of 2,478 metres. In 2014, another British sniper killed a suicide bomber and five Taliban insurgents with a single bullet after it triggered the suicide vest one of them was wearing. The shot was fired from 850 metres away. The regular breaking of records is testament to how rapidly sniper technology has been advancing in recent years, with shooters using wind meters, laser rangefinders and advanced scopes to make their kills. Surprisingly, stunning shots have also been made using dated weapons, with a machine gun first developed in WWII used by British special forces in Afghanistan. While snipers and their spotters work closely to estimate ranges as accurately as possible, luck also plays a role - as shown by the various examples of single bullets killing multiple enemy fighters at once. Snipers spend years learning their craft, honing their shooting skills into a deadly and precise science which takes into account everything from temperature to humidity and even the curvature and rotation of the earth. Low temperatures and high altitudes result in thinner air, which results in less drag on the bullet and therefore less bullet drop. Low humidity, too, can result in denser air, which tends to drag the bullet down faster. Ultimately, success comes down to the skill of the shooter, with tiny margins of less than a millimetre making the difference between their bullet hitting a wall, their own troops, or someone who is trying to kill them.
