Arson at a Starlink station near Grójec: Polish services see a Russian trail

Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński, at a press conference, presented new findings on the arson of a Starlink station in Wola Krobowska near Grójec, in Masovian Voivodeship. The arson took place on 23 September 2026. According to the minister, there is no doubt that it was ordered by foreign services.

Police have reconstructed the sequence of events and the route the suspects are believed to have taken to escape. Two Turkish citizens who are now in Germany are involved in the case. According to the outlet, prosecutors intend to ask the court to arrest them; their status is to be confirmed in an official prosecutors' statement.

According to the investigators, the aim of the arson was to disrupt Starlink in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The case is being investigated on suspicion of acting on behalf of foreign intelligence, sabotage and a crime of a terrorist nature. The National Prosecutor's Office had earlier said there was a well-founded suspicion that the perpetrators acted on the orders of Russian special services.
