A GPS jamming attack in the Baltic region that prompted a Finnish airline to pause some flights to Estonia for a month was probably launched from Russia, according to officials and an analyst.
The jamming incidents are part of an ongoing pattern of GPS interference in Europe. A NATO military official told New Scientist that the attacks have escalated significantly since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
