Polen: Tusk: Zwei mutmaßliche Saboteure in Deutschland festgenommen

Two suspected saboteurs accused of attacking a Starlink station in Poland have been apprehended in Germany, according to the Polish government. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the arrests on X, stating that German police had detained two Turkish citizens suspected of setting fire to the Starlink station in Masovia. The suspects are expected to face the Polish justice system.

The Polish government suspects Russian intelligence was behind the incident. Several media outlets reported the arrests, including the "Schwäbische Zeitung," which said the two men were detained at a train station in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg. Additionally, police in Berlin-Spandau reportedly apprehended a third suspect, possibly the driver of the other two.

Poland is operating under the assumption that Russian agents were contracted for the attack. On September 23, a fire broke out at a Starlink satellite internet service terminal in Wola Karbowska, 50 kilometers south of Warsaw. The Polish government commented shortly after, suggesting a likely sabotage attempt against the station, which also ensured internet security in Ukraine.
