Polish officials said German police detained two Turkish citizens linked to the Starlink ground station fire in Wola Krobowska, south of Warsaw. Authorities dated the blaze to September 23 and described it as deliberate arson against communications infrastructure. Poland said it issued arrest warrants and European Arrest Warrants that enabled the German detentions and now seeks extradition to continue the case in Warsaw. Officials said both suspects await transfer under the European Arrest Warrant process.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the attack was an act of hybrid warfare and tied the sabotage to wider threats facing Poland and its allies. Polish security services framed the operation as a coordinated effort involving the Interior Ministry, national police, and security agency to identify and locate the suspects across borders. Officials said protecting communications sites matters for national security and for allied support to Ukraine, which uses commercial satellite links for battlefield connectivity.
