Lithuania to increase security at critical infrastructure, prime minister says
Officials will increase protection at critical infrastructure after a failed arson attempt damaged a Starlink base station only slightly, they said.
- On Monday, Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius announced increased security at critical infrastructure sites following an attempted arson attack on a Starlink base station near Vilnius on October 18.
- Lithuanian officials link this fire to previous sabotage incidents at Starlink facilities in Poland and Bulgaria, which Sinkevicius said are part of Russian attempts to disrupt operations and influence Ukrainian military success.
- Investigators discovered containers of incendiary liquid ranging from three to 10 litres at the Vilnius site. Polish Minister Tomasz Siemoniak warned that "increasingly, Russian intelligence agencies are reaching out to individuals connected to the criminal world."
- A Bulgarian court approved European arrest warrants for two German suspects accused of sabotaging Starlink antennas near Sofia. Polish authorities separately detained four suspects last week regarding a previous attack on a satellite communications facility.
- The sabotage attempts target ground-based infrastructure essential for Ukrainian military communications, yet Moscow has formally dismissed accusations of involvement as baseless. These attacks underscore escalating regional tensions amid the ongoing conflict.
