Disturbances in GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation signals have been observed in parts of NATO‘s newest member Finland, it has been reported.
The disruptions in the signals used by pilots as well as motorists, follow previous GPS disturbances that have sparked speculation of Russian involvement, although there is no proof that Moscow was behind the latest incident.
The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) said that the GPS disturbances were detected in eastern and southeastern Finland on Sunday, according to Finnish news outlet YLE News.
The disruptions were spotted on the GPSjam website, with administrator John Wiseman describing them on X, formerly Twitter, as: “Unprecedented in terms of [number] of aircraft affected and size of the region affected. The Baltic sure has been exciting lately.”
In a follow-up message Wiseman said: “It’s cooled off in the last 24 hours, but still some significant interference that’s happening, that is typically not seen in this area of Finland.”
