The GPS system of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s aeroplane was jammed while en route on Sunday to Bulgaria, where it landed safely, an EU spokesperson has said, confirming earlier media reports. “We can indeed confirm that there was GPS jamming, but the plane landed safely in Bulgaria. We have received information from the Bulgarian authorities that they suspect that this was due to blatant interference by Russia,” the spokesperson said on Monday. The Russian government did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
