Lithuania to increase security at critical infrastructure, prime minister says
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.
Lithuanian authorities allege the arson is part of a Russia-linked sabotage campaign targeting similar Starlink facilities in Poland and Bulgaria, though the Kremlin dismisses such accusations as baseless.
Investigators discovered containers of incendiary liquid ranging from three to 10 litres at the Vilnius site, while Bulgarian prosecutors issued arrest warrants for two German nationals accused of burning Starlink antennas near Sofia.
Sinkevicius stated officials agreed to devote more forces and attention to critical infrastructure objects while monitoring hostile state activities to protect people and property.
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.
