In October 2026, German police detained a fourth person linked to a fire at a Starlink station in central Poland in September, an incident Poland attributes to Russian sabotage aimed at disrupting internet services used by Ukraine's military. Two Turkish men had previously been detained in Germany on suspicion of involvement. Poland's Special Services Minister accused Russian services of orchestrating the sabotage using individuals connected to criminal networks. The woman detained in Berlin may have acted as a driver, with Polish prosecutors assessing her role and potential extradition. German and Polish authorities are cooperating, with the Federal Criminal Police coordinating information exchange. The incident is part of broader European concerns over Russian hybrid warfare, including sabotage and cyber attacks. Russia denies involvement, calling such claims baseless.
