The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) recorded a sharp increase in GPS interference along Finland's eastern border and the Gulf of Finland, with about 600 incidents in 2023 and 200 reported so far in 2024. The agency cannot confirm if all interference is intentional but notes a growing pattern, particularly impacting navigation systems. These disruptions risk compromising positioning system reliability, critical for transport safety and other operations. Traficom monitors these incidents and warns of potential risks to safe navigation if such interference continues unchecked. The agency emphasizes that not all interference is necessarily deliberate but acknowledges the increased frequency and geographic concentration near Russian borders.
