  "description": "Reports and visual evidence indicate that Russia is operating a new marine GPS spoofing system in the eastern Gulf of Finland near Primorsk, close to the Finnish border. The reported spoofing pattern is a combined circle and oval shape, which appears to be affecting marine traffic by erroneously sending ship locations deep into Finnish territory. The potential for this spoofing to direct GPS-guided munitions into Finland is theorized.",
