  "description": "Farmers near the eastern border of Finland are reporting that their tractors' GPS systems have malfunctioned, causing significant problems for agricultural operations. The disruptions have led to erratic tractor guidance, resulting in misaligned sowing and visible green stripes in the fields. The issue is reported to be related to unreliable or jammed satellite signals, widely suspected to be a result of deliberate electronic interference.",
