Poland’s deputy prime minister said a Starlink satellite communications ground station in central Poland caught fire on Wednesday night. The site, which supplies internet to neighbouring areas including Ukraine, suffered damage to its power station and generators; he said systems have since been restored. He described the blaze as apparent deliberate sabotage intended to disable the site and cut internet access for institutions including the Ukrainian military. Poland has remained on high alert for sabotage since the 2022 Russia‑Ukraine war, and Russia has repeatedly denied responsibility. He cited Prime Minister Tusk’s recent characterisation of such attacks as part of hybrid warfare.
