Russian ambassador to Finland summoned over GPS disruption
(Reuters) - Russias Ambassador to Finland Pavel Kuznetsov has been summoned to a meeting on Monday with Finnish state secretary Matti Anttonen over the disruption of Finlands global positioning system (GPS) signal during recent NATO war games.
We dont have anything to hide here. Disruption is a serious matter which disturbs civil aviation. We will act toward Russia, we will discuss this and we expect answers, Finnish Foreign Minister Timo Soini said in a statement to public broadcaster Yle while on a state visit to the United States.
The Finnish foreign ministry said on Thursday that the disruption of Finlands GPS signal during recent NATO war games came from Russian territory.
The Kremlin on Monday dismissed an earlier allegation from Finland that Russia may have intentionally disrupted the signal during the war games.
