Polen: Tusk: Drei mutmaßliche Saboteure in Deutschland festgenommen

Three alleged saboteurs suspected of attacking a Starlink station in Poland have been apprehended in Germany, according to the Polish government. Subsequently, a third individual was also arrested, as reported by the Polish broadcaster RMF FM. "At the request of Polish intelligence services, German police have detained two Turkish nationals suspected of setting the Starlink station in Masovia ablaze," stated Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X prior to the arrests.

The suspected saboteurs will have to face the Polish justice system. Warsaw suspects that Russian intelligence services are behind the incident. Several media outlets have reported on the arrests. The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported that the men were apprehended at a train station in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg. Poland assumes Russian agents were responsible.

On September 23, a fire broke out at a Starlink satellite internet service terminal in Wola Karbowska, approximately 50 kilometers south of Warsaw. Shortly thereafter, the Polish government announced a probable sabotage attempt against the station, which also ensured internet security in Ukraine.
