Lithuania prevents arson attack on Starlink equipment base thanks to enhanced security measures

Failed attempt to attack satellite communication infrastructure

Lithuania has prevented the burning of a facility storing equipment for the Starlink satellite internet system. Prime Minister Sinkevicius reported on this incident, which occurred overnight.

According to the head of government, unidentified individuals attempted to set fire to the company's warehouse, but their actions did not lead to the desired consequences. This was possible thanks to security measures taken in advance.

Government reaction and the role of security services

Sinkevicius detailed the course of events. He noted that the company received a warning about a potential threat before nightfall, which allowed security at the facility to be strengthened.

«Сьогодні вночі стався ще один інцидент — була здійснена спроба підпалу литовської компанії, де зберігається обладнання зв’язку Starlink. Служби заздалегідь попередили компанію про можливі напади, охорону було посилено, тому спроба виявилася невдалою» (Another incident occurred overnight — an attempt was made to set fire to a Lithuanian company storing Starlink communication equipment. Services warned the company in advance of possible attacks, security was strengthened, so the attempt was unsuccessful), the Prime Minister emphasised.

Thus, thanks to preventive actions, it was possible to preserve the equipment and prevent possible destruction.
