Poland Says Two Turkish Nationals Held Over Starlink Station Fire Linked to Russia
Warsaw says the two suspects, detained in Germany, will face sabotage charges, Al Jazeera reports.

Polish authorities say two Turkish nationals have been arrested in connection with a fire at a Starlink satellite internet station, which they describe as linked to Russia, according to Al Jazeera.
Warsaw says the two suspects are being held in Germany and will face sabotage charges over the incident, though the report does not specify exactly where in Poland the station fire occurred or the extent of damage caused.
Starlink terminals have taken on a notable role in Ukraine and neighboring countries since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, making infrastructure tied to the satellite internet service a subject of heightened security concern in the region.
The report does not detail what evidence connects the fire to Russia, nor does it specify the exact nature of the alleged sabotage or how the two suspects came to be apprehended in Germany rather than in Poland.
The case adds to a series of recent incidents across Europe that authorities have characterized as acts of sabotage tied to Russia, amid broader tensions stemming from the war in Ukraine.
