Poland accuses Russia of directing Starlink station arson; two Turks arrested in Germany face extradition

Poland has directly accused Moscow of orchestrating the late September 2026 arson attack on a Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska, a facility that reportedly supplied data to the Ukrainian military. Two Turkish nationals were arrested in southern Germany in connection with the sabotage. The suspects were detained under a European arrest warrant issued by Polish authorities, with weapons and ammunition found in their possession. Germany is expected to extradite them to Poland, where they will face trial for sabotage of critical infrastructure. Polish Prime Minister Tusk and German authorities attribute the operation to Russian intelligence direction. The two arrested men are allegedly members of the Turkish "Dalton" crime gang, known for incidents in Greece. The gang's leader is reportedly held in Russia, and European authorities' extradition requests for him have been refused by Moscow.
