Poland Says Two Turkish Suspects Detained in Germany Over Starlink Arson

Poland's Interior Ministry said on October 12 that two Turkish citizens suspected of deliberately setting fire to Starlink infrastructure in Wola Krobowska, Poland, were detained in Germany. The fire occurred on September 23. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said Polish police, the Internal Security Agency and prosecutors prepared the evidence, and European Arrest Warrants issued the previous week formed the basis for the operation. Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said authorities had no doubt Russian services were behind the sabotage, an allegation made by the Polish authorities.
