Lithuania reports attempted sabotage of Starlink infrastructure, with related cases in Bulgaria and Poland.
Lithuanian officials said a fire at a Starlink data center site near 2 a.m. Sunday was attempted sabotage using flammable liquids and Molotov cocktails; the control unit burned but was extinguished and service was not disrupted. Bulgaria issued European arrest warrants for two 19-year-old German nationals over an October 9 arson attack on Starlink antennas south of Sofia. Poland and Germany made arrests last week in a separate late-September fire at a Starlink station in central Poland; officials in Poland and Lithuania have suggested Russian involvement.
