Bulgarian authorities have disabled a GPS jammer located in a heavily guarded compound in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The jammer operated intermittently and was active from Wednesday to late Friday night before being disabled. There have been longstanding suspicions of an intermittent jammer based in Sofia. Authorities have stated that flight safety was unaffected despite the device's presence. Previously, in 2024, the aircraft of Ursula von der Leyen experienced suspected directed GPS jamming near Sofia. Bulgarian authorities have provided conflicting information over time regarding the incident. The presence of hostile electronic warfare equipment within the capital raises security concerns.
