    A Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska, Poland, which provides satellite internet connectivity to Ukraine, caught fire, with firefighters reportedly suspecting that the fire was deliberately caused. Polish Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said the incident could be part of a Russian hybrid-war campaign, noting that the station is an important communications hub for Ukraine, although he stressed that there was not yet sufficient evidence to say that Russia was responsible. The incident was reported to Polish security authorities, and investigators were examining the circumstances.
