  "description": "GPS signal jamming near Russia's militarized Kaliningrad exclave is disrupting drone activity along Lithuania's Baltic Sea coast, causing drones to crash or lose control. The interference has increased to seven times higher than last year, particularly affecting areas near Klaipeda and the Curonian Lagoon, with disruptions reported during a drone competition in Nida. Lithuanian officials link the jamming to Russian electronic warfare aimed at NATO activities in the region, noting a spike coinciding with recent Ukrainian military operations in Russia. While Klaipeda Port operations are also impacted, the effect is less severe due to reliance on multiple navigation systems beyond GPS.",

    "GPS signal jamming near Russia’s militarized Kaliningrad exclave is disrupting drone activity along Lithuania’s Baltic Sea coast.",
    "Interference now seven times higher than during the same period last year, according to Lithuania’s Armed Forces.",
    "Saulius Balčiūnas, a drone operator, noted stronger GPS jamming and control signal interference causing drones to crash.",
    "The most severe disruptions occur along the Baltic Sea coast and over the Curonian Lagoon, especially near Kaliningrad.",
    "Russian electronic warfare operations aim to disrupt Western intelligence gathering and push back NATO activity in the Baltic region.",
    "The interference coincides with Ukraine’s recent drone strike on Russian military aircraft, possibly provoking retaliatory actions by Russia.",
    "Impact on maritime transport at Klaipeda Port is less severe due to multiple navigation systems in use apart from GPS."
