Two Turkish nationals detained in Germany over Starlink sabotage in Poland

German police detained two Turkish nationals on Monday under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Poland, which suspects them of setting fire to a Starlink ground station in the village of Wola Krobowska in September. Polish officials say the two men acted on behalf of Russian intelligence services to disrupt Starlink connectivity in Poland and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe; Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it another act in the hybrid war being waged against the country.
