  "description": "Significant, recurring GPS and GNSS jamming incidents have impacted civil flight and shipping routes across the Baltic Sea region, notably from the Baltics to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, since mid-December 2023. The interference has led to canceled flights and disrupted marine navigation. Investigators and OSINT sources suspect Russian hybrid warfare tactics, possibly originating from Kaliningrad, although no conclusive attribution exists. The Bundeswehr and DLR confirm strong GNSS interference unrelated to natural causes, with potential for route alterations but no acute danger declared for civilian operations.",

    "Aktuell treten großflächige Störungen vom Baltikum bis ins östliche Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auf. Flüge fallen aus, der Schiffsverkehr wird behindert.",

    "Besonders stark waren die GPS-Ausfälle demnach etwa an den Weihnachtsfeiertagen 2023 und dann wieder am 10. Januar 2024.",
    "Das Zentrum Luftoperationen der Bundeswehr teilte auf NDR Anfrage mit, dass es Kenntnis von diesen Störungen habe und dass diese 'mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht auf Weltraumwetter (Sonnenstürme) zurückzuführen' seien.",
    "Hinter dem GPS-Jamming vermuten Ermittler des schwedischen Militärgeheimdienstes MUST 'russische hybride Kriegsführung'."
