Headline: Ostsee: Rätselhafte GPS-Störungen behindern Schiffs- und Flugverkehr
Short Summary: Large-scale GPS jamming disrupted air and maritime navigation in southeastern Baltic Sea since December 2023. Suspected source is Russian hybrid warfare; DLR and Bundeswehr confirm strong interference.
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.
