Poland says two Turks arrested in Germany over Starlink station fire

Tuesday, 13 October 2026, 06:13 · 1 min read

Two Turkish citizens have been detained in Germany over a fire at a Starlink satellite internet station in Masovia, central-eastern Poland, which Warsaw calls Russian-directed sabotage. Polish officials said the men will face charges of acting on behalf of a foreign intelligence service, and that the blaze, which hit the site's power system and backup generator, was meant to disrupt internet services, including those used by Ukraine's military. The case adds to a string of incidents the EU attributes to a Russian sabotage campaign aimed at weakening support for Ukraine; Moscow has previously rejected such accusations as baseless.
