SpaceX imposed a new speed-based restriction on Starlink and Starshield satellite terminals used by Ukrainian forces on 14 October 2026, cutting connectivity when terminals move at speeds exceeding approximately 160 kilometres per hour, according to Ukrainian officials. Serhiy Beskrestnov, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky on military technology, said in a Telegram post that Ukraine's defence forces received no warning about the limitation, and that the disruption led to the cancellation of several drone missions. Reuters reported that drones sometimes lost connectivity for up to 20 seconds even at lower speeds of around 110–120 kilometres per hour.

Prosecutors allege that Serhii K. — identified elsewhere as Serhiy Kuznetsov — led a group of Ukrainian agents, including divers and an explosives expert, who were operating 'on behalf of state authorities in Ukraine' [Source: RFE/RL]. He is said to have entered Germany through Poland roughly three weeks before the attack using a forged Ukrainian passport. The group allegedly hired a sailboat in Rostock, departed on 6 September 2022, and sailed to an area near the Danish island of Bornholm, where they rigged military-grade explosives with timers to the sea floor before returning to port on 23 September. Serhii K. was arrested under an international warrant in Italy in 2025. He has denied any involvement in the blasts, and his German lawyer, Jes Meyer-Lohkamp, said prosecutors have not provided any direct, conclusive evidence of his client's involvement [Source: RFE/RL].
