  "description": "Along Lithuania's coast, GPS signal jamming near the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad has increased sevenfold, causing drone signal losses, crashes, and uncontrollable flights. The Lithuanian Armed Forces link this rise in GPS disruptions to intensified Russian electronic warfare efforts since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Commercial drone flights have been banned in the Klaipėda port area, though maritime traffic continues using alternative navigation systems. Military officials also report GPS spoofing, advising the use of multiple navigation systems and tools.",
