  "description": "On June 17, 2025, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that Poland has detected GPS signal interruptions over the Baltic Sea and attributes these disruptions to Russian activities, specifically sabotage. These GPS interruptions affect military and civil aviation, including drone operations, causing difficulties in control and leading to air traffic disruptions, such as a passenger plane diversion from Bydgoszcz to Poznan. The issue is observed not only in Poland but also across NATO Baltic Sea countries and Northern Europe, prompting coordinated response including recommendations from Poland’s operational military commander to aviation and air navigation authorities. Lithuania reports expanding GPS signal jamming along its Baltic coast near the Kaliningrad region, impacting civilian shipping and drone control, highlighting a growing regional threat of electromagnetic interference linked to Russia.",

  "summary_extended": "On June 17, 2025, Poland's Defense Minister revealed ongoing GPS signal interruptions over the Baltic Sea, which are linked to Russian interference. These disruptions have been observed by allied NATO countries across the Baltic region and Northern Europe. The interference notably impacts military aviation, civil air traffic, and drone operations by causing control difficulties and potential spoofing of navigation data. An example includes a passenger flight diverted from Bydgoszcz to Poznan due to GPS issues. Poland convened a special security committee, resulting in military and civil aviation authorities receiving operational recommendations to mitigate risks. Lithuanian officials corroborate the escalating GPS jamming near the Curonian Lagoon close to Kaliningrad, impacting civilian shipping and contributing to drone accidents. This coordinated electromagnetic interference campaign underscores Russia’s strategic attempt to disrupt regional navigation systems, raising security concerns for Baltic Sea nations and NATO allies.",
