Lithuania to increase security at critical infrastructure, prime minister says
Officials said the fire caused minor damage and no service disruption as investigators searched for suspects and linked the attempt to Russian sabotage.
- On Monday, Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius announced increased security at critical infrastructure following an attempted arson at a Starlink facility near Vilnius that authorities suspect was Russia-linked sabotage.
- Lithuanian officials are investigating links between this arson and similar sabotage at Starlink sites in Poland and Bulgaria, attributing the acts to Russian intelligence; Moscow dismissed such accusations as 'baseless' and anti-Russian hysteria.
- Investigators found containers holding three to 10 litres of incendiary liquid at the scene. Sinkevicius stated security services had warned the company beforehand, allowing staff to extinguish the fire quickly with only minor damage.
- Bulgaria issued European arrest warrants for two German citizens suspected of torching Starlink antennas near Sofia on October 9. Poland previously detained four individuals linked to similar sabotage at a ground station.
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the sabotage "hybrid warfare," warning that Russia may escalate provocations against Baltic states and Poland before Christmas. Officials cautioned that further attacks on critical infrastructure cannot be ruled out.
