Ukraine war latest: Russia takes aim at Ukraine's internet infrastructure

Key Points:

• Russian strikes on Sept. 23-24 targeted multiple data centers and internet providers in Kyiv, disrupting service for about 100,000 households and marking an escalation in attacks on Ukraine’s internet infrastructure.
• Polish Deputy PM Krzysztof Gawkowski indicated that a fire at a Starlink ground station in Poland may have been a deliberate Russian sabotage aimed at disrupting internet access used by Ukrainian forces.
• Denmark’s Defence Intelligence Service warned that Russia is likely to escalate hybrid attacks against NATO and Western countries in the coming months, including cyber operations and sabotage, with a low but growing risk of limited military attacks on NATO borders.
• Ukrainian drones allegedly attacked oil depots in Russia’s Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai on Sept. 24, with Russian air defenses reportedly intercepting many drones; minor damage and fires were reported but no casualties.
• Despite the heightened tensions and risks of escalation, Danish intelligence assesses a full-scale Russian invasion of a NATO country remains highly unlikely in the near term.
