Lithuanian officials have said that a night attack on a site tied to the Starlink satellite internet service, which serves Ukraine, was foiled. Lithuania's prime minister said he believes the people behind the attack are already known.

A third site in Europe

Euromaidan Press, an outlet covering the war in Ukraine, presents the case as the third Starlink site reached by a suspected Russian arson campaign. Similar incidents were previously reported in Poland and Bulgaria. The source describes Russia's role in the campaign as suspected rather than established.

What is known

The source text gives no further details on the location of the attack, the methods used, any detentions or the extent of damage. The identities of the people the prime minister referred to have not been disclosed. These questions remain unanswered for now.
