> Two masked people broke into a communications facility near Sofia and set fire to 11 of its 17 antennas used to connect with Starlink satellites. Bulgarian lawmaker Ivaylo Mirchev said the antennas were deliberately targeted and cited a similar incident in Poland in September, where he said authorities believe Russia was behind the sabotage. It is unclear whether the damaged antennas served Ukraine’s armed forces.
