  "description": "Estonian security services have lost dozens of drones due to GPS interference emanating from Russia, which disrupts drone navigation near the eastern border. In response, the Police and Border Guard Board established a five-kilometer no-fly zone along Estonia's eastern border to mitigate losses and enhance security. Authorities are seeking legislative measures to grant critical infrastructure operators rights to disable drones, aiming to reduce the risk posed by interference and unauthorized drone activity. Officials warn that the GPS jamming tactics may be part of a broader hybrid warfare strategy aimed at undermining Estonia's surveillance and defense capabilities.",
