POLICY WIRE — City, UK — Three individuals have pleaded guilty to charges related to an arson attack on the offices of Volant Media. The incident occurred when an “ignited container” was thrown at the media company’s premises, prompting a police response.

Authorities were called to the scene following reports of the attack. The suspects, whose identities have not been disclosed, admitted to their involvement in the arson. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.

Volant Media, known for its Persian-language broadcasts, has yet to issue a public statement regarding the incident. The company’s offices sustained damage, though the extent has not been detailed.
