At the end of September 2026, a Starlink satellite communications station in the Masovian region of Poland was set on fire in an act of sabotage disrupting internet services used by various institutions including the Ukrainian military. Two Turkish nationals were detained in Germany by police acting on Polish authorities' orders for suspected involvement in the arson. Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk called this a "further act of hybrid warfare" and the Polish government suspects Russia's involvement behind the attack. The Starlink station, owned by state telecom company Exatel and integrated with SpaceX's Starlink terminals, provides vital internet connectivity for Ukrainian forces. Poland has repeatedly accused Russia of sabotage activities since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and invests heavily in defense measures like drone defense. The incident fits within growing hybrid warfare threats targeting Ukraine and its allies in the region.
