Estonia summons Russian embassy chief over GPS jamming

Estonia's foreign ministry has summoned the head of the Russian embassy in Tallinn to protest the jamming of GPS signals, the Baltic country's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said on X on Wednesday.

"Today we summoned Russian charge d'affaires over GPS jamming which is a violation of regulations of the International Telecommunication Union & has caused serious damage to Estonian air traffic," Tsahkna wrote. Estonia last month

accused Russia of violating international airspace regulations by interfering with GPS signals after signal jamming forced it to make changes to its Tartu airport.

Russia and Estonia last year expelled each other's ambassadors as relations deteriorated in the wake of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
