Officials say the fire caused minor damage and no service disruption, and investigators are treating the incident as possible Russia-linked sabotage.
- On Monday, Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius announced the government will increase security at critical infrastructure after an attempted arson at a Starlink base station near Vilnius.

- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned Russia may escalate "hybrid attacks" against transport lines before Christmas, while Polish Minister Tomasz Siemoniak noted intelligence agencies increasingly use criminal proxies for sabotage.
