Sources: 43. Developments: 2. On September 23, 2026, a fire occurred at a Starlink satellite communication base station in Wola Krobowska, central Poland. The facility, operated by the state-owned company Exatel, sustained damage to its antennas, a power generator, and a distribution cabinet. The incident caused internet connectivity disruptions for various institutions, including the Ukrainian military. Polish authorities, including the Internal Security Agency and the Central Bureau of Investigation, launched investigations into the incident. Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski indicated the fire appeared to be a deliberate act of sabotage designed to disable the station, suggesting it aligns with a ‘new Russian doctrine’ of hybrid warfare. By September 26, the Polish National Prosecutor’s Office reported ‘reasonable suspicion’ that the perpetrators acted on behalf of Russian intelligence services. The suspected objective was to disrupt Starlink network operations across Poland and other parts of Central and Eastern Europe. While CCTV footage confirmed the fire was arson, no formal charges have been filed. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Poland investigates Starlink ground station fire as suspected Russian sabotage Polish prosecutors are investigating a fire at a Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska, suspecting Russian intelligence may have orchestrated the arson to disrupt communications in Central and Eastern-moste 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/poland-investigates-starlink-ground-station-fire-as-suspected-russian-sabotage ### 2026-09-24: Starlink station fire in Poland suspected to be act of sabotage Polish authorities are investigating a fire at a Starlink base station in Wola Krobowska as a suspected act of sabotage and hybrid warfare aimed at disrupting internet connectivity, including for Ukraine. 40 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/starlink-base-station-in-poland-hit-by-suspected-arson-attack --- Cite as: Starlink station sabotage investigation in Poland.
