Russia suspected of jamming GPS signal in Finland

Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila has said the GPS signal in his country’s northern airspace was disrupted during recent Nato war games in Scandinavia.

He said he believed the signal had been jammed deliberately and that it was possible Russia was to blame because it had the means to do so.

Finland is not a Nato member but joined the war games which began last month. Norway also reported GPS problems during the exercises near Russia’s north-western borders.
