NATO is actively countering Russia's interference with civilian aircraft GPS systems. This follows an incident where European Commission President von der Leyen's plane experienced GPS failure over Bulgaria, suspected to be caused by Russian jamming. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed the alliance is working to prevent further incidents, highlighting this as part of a broader campaign of hybrid warfare by Russia, including cyberattacks and undersea cable damage. While Bulgaria won't investigate the incident, citing similar occurrences, Rutte emphasized the escalating threat to all of Europe from Russia's increasingly advanced missile technology.
