pravda.com.ua (Russian) —

Lithuania is investigating an attempted arson attack on a Starlink base station as a diversion linked to Russia, aimed at undermining Ukraine's defense capabilities. Authorities are searching for suspects. The incident occurred on Sunday, with the government's National Crisis Management Center calling it a deliberate act of sabotage, not an ordinary fire. Officials connect it to similar Starlink arson attempts in Bulgaria and Poland. Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius earlier reported the failed attack on a company storing Starlink equipment. The official stated the goal is to disrupt Starlink operations and affect Ukrainian military success.
