Arson attempt targets Lithuanian company storing Starlink equipment

An attempt to set fire to the premises of a company storing Starlink satellite communications equipment failed in Lithuania on Sunday night. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius said Russia is most likely behind the sabotage.

An attempt was made in Lithuania on Sunday night, at about 02:00, to set fire to the premises of a company that stored Starlink satellite communications equipment. Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius announced the incident and said Russia is most likely behind the sabotage.

According to the prime minister, state services had already warned the company about possible attacks. The company's security had therefore been stepped up, and the attempted arson failed.

The source text is brief and gives no further details about the circumstances. It does not name the company, say how many perpetrators were involved, or say whether anyone has been detained.
