Polish authorities have confirmed that a fire at a Starlink ground station in the Grójec district was deliberately set. According to Deputy Interior Minister Czesław Mroczek, surveillance footage provides evidence of arson, shifting the investigation from an earlier consideration of an electrical fault.
The fire, which broke out in Wola Krobowska in the Mazovia region, damaged the station's power supply infrastructure and a power generator. The facility is operated by the state-owned telecommunications company Exatel and is used to transmit internet traffic across Poland and to Ukraine, as well as supporting SpaceX Starlink terminals. Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski previously stated that the incident fits a pattern of sabotage threats against critical infrastructure.
