Did Poland’s deputy prime minister call a Starlink station fire an act of sabotage?

Yes. On September 24, 2026, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and digital affairs minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said a fire the night before at a Starlink-linked satellite station in Wola Krobowska, in Poland’s Masovian Voivodeship, was a deliberate “act of sabotage” meant to disable the station and disrupt internet access for institutions including the Ukrainian army.

He told public broadcaster TVP Info an investigation was ongoing and that many indications pointed toward a hybrid-warfare pattern; the Kremlin had not commented. The station, which routes traffic through Poland using SpaceX Starlink systems, remained operational after the fire.
