Arson attack: Sabotage in Poland: Two suspects arrested in Germany

Two alleged saboteurs suspected of setting fire to a Starlink station in Poland have been arrested in Germany. The arrests were made in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg, on a Polish request, and the men, who are Turkish citizens, will be brought before a judge. The Polish government believes Russian secret services were behind the attack, which occurred on September 23 in Wola Karbowska, 50km south of Warsaw, and which could have caused problems with internet services in Ukraine.

Poland's Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said the suspects would be charged with sabotage and working on behalf of a foreign secret service.
