🇩🇪🇵🇱 Two suspects arrested in Germany over arson at a Starlink station in Poland

German police arrested two Turkish nationals at the request of Polish law enforcement authorities. The men are suspected of setting fire to a satellite communications station in the Masovian Voivodeship that belongs to the Polish state-owned telecommunications company Exatel. The facility is used to transmit internet data, including to Ukraine, and is connected to the infrastructure that enables the operation of Starlink terminals. The fire occurred at the end of September and disrupted communications access for several users, including Ukrainian military structures.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the incident as another act of hybrid warfare. The Polish government links the attack to the activities of Russian intelligence services, but no public evidence of Moscow’s involvement has been presented so far. Polish Digitalization Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said the arson attack had been organized to take the station out of service. Despite the damage, the facility was not completely destroyed.
