A fire broke out at a Starlink ground station in the village of Wola Krobowska, south of Warsaw, Poland. Polish prosecutors suspect the fire was a deliberate act of arson carried out on orders of Russian special services and a foreign intelligence service aimed at disrupting Starlink internet traffic and battlefield communications used by Ukraine and other Central and Eastern European countries. Poland's ABW security agency and the Central Bureau of Police Investigation are conducting the probe. The incident is viewed by Polish officials as an element of hybrid warfare aligned with Russia's new doctrine of attack. The station reportedly operates normally now. Starlink services were activated in Ukraine in 2022 to provide battlefield communication, and Poland has been financially supporting these services. Ukraine relies heavily on Starlink terminals for military communications and drone operations. Elon Musk has cooperated on disabling Russian 'grey-market' Starlink terminals. Ukraine is reportedly seeking to use Starlink terminals for attacks on Russian territory.
