Poland investigates fire near Starlink station as possible sabotage

A fire near a ground station of the Starlink satellite communications service in the village of Wola Krobowska in the Masovian Voivodeship may be linked to sabotage. The fire broke out on Wednesday evening near an antenna installation and, according to the Polish government, temporarily disrupted access to the internet service, including the connection used in Ukraine. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski described the incident as a possible element of hybrid warfare. He said the circumstances of the fire suggest deliberate action, but Poland does not yet have evidence that would directly confirm Russia's involvement in the fire. Onet Wiadomosci ↗

Firefighters received the report a few minutes after 9 p.m. According to findings so far, the fire started near an electric generator. Emergency services and investigators, who are examining several possible causes, attended the scene. TVN24.pl ↗

Polish authorities pointed out that the case fits into the broader context of concerns about attacks on critical infrastructure. Gawkowski also said that a sabotage operation cannot be ruled out. However, the final conclusions will depend on the results of the investigation and on an assessment of the technical and security circumstances of the fire. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
