Russia blocked GPS data during NATO exercises: Norway
Oslo on Tuesday pointed a finger squarely at Russia, accusing it of jamming GPS signals in Norway's Far North when it hosted NATO's massive exercises in October and early November.
"We know that jamming was observed between October 19 and November 7, originating from Russian ground forces in (the) Kola" peninsula, a region of northwestern Russia close to Norway, the Norwegian defence ministry said.
"We are following the situation closely, together with the authorities concerned," the ministry added in an email to AFP, confirming reports by Norwegian news agency NTB.
On Sunday, Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila had said the "almost certainly deliberate" disruption of GPS signals across Lapland had put civil aviation in the region at risk.
He had suggested Moscow could be responsible, saying it was "possible" it was involved.
