> Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said a Sept. 23 fire at a Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska may have been a deliberate attempt to disrupt internet access used by Ukrainian forces at the front. He suggested Russia could be behind it, but Poland has not completed its investigation. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was too early to determine whether the incident was sabotage or an accident.
