Vilnius3 NATO states have now seen Starlink sites attacked.
Starlink connects Ukraine’s armed forces, and Lithuanian residents, businesses and troops.
After fires in Poland and Bulgaria, Molotov cocktails hit antennas and a control unit at a Lithuanian firm renting space to SpaceX.
Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius blames Russia but offered no evidence, and suspects are still being sought.
Lithuania will raise the alert level at more than 15 critical infrastructure sites, the prime minister said.
