What happened

A fire engulfed the electrical system and backup generator at a Starlink station in central Poland on the evening of 23 September. Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said the next day that investigators regarded the fire as deliberate sabotage intended to disable the station and disrupt internet access, including services used by Ukraine's military. He said the station was again operating normally. Authorities had not identified a perpetrator, and suggestions that the incident aligned with Russian hybrid-warfare methods were an assessment rather than attribution; this record therefore names no responsible actor. The exact site, outage duration and extent of equipment damage were not disclosed, so the marker represents central Poland rather than a verified impact coordinate.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
