A DHL/Swift cargo flight BCS18D was jammed by a GPS jammer from Kaliningrad during its final 34 minutes before crashing into a residential house in Vilnius, Lithuania on November 25, 2024.
On November 25, 2024, a DHL/Swift cargo plane identified as flight BCS18D experienced GPS jamming originating from Kaliningrad during the last 34 minutes of its approach to Vilnius, Lithuania. The jamming likely contributed to the flight crashing into a house in Vilnius. At least 6 to 20 other aircraft in the same airspace were reportedly affected by the same jamming signals at the time. The GPS jammer located in Kaliningrad has reportedly been operating for nearly a year, though it is unclear if the jamming incident was directly related to the crash. The incident highlights ongoing Russian hybrid warfare tactics using electronic interference against Baltic airspace and critical aviation infrastructure.
Confidence: High
The event is clearly described as Russian-origin GPS jamming impacting Lithuanian airspace and resulting in a crash. The description and location provide direct evidence of hostile electronic warfare originating from Kaliningrad, a known Russian military region. There is no mention of defense or mitigation actions in the source, so it is classified strictly as an aggressor event with high confidence.
