Russia suspected of 'blatant interference' - after EU Commission president's plane 'forced to land using paper maps' (UPDATED)
A jet carrying the EU Commission president suffered GPS jamming as a result of suspected Russian interference, an EU spokesperson has confirmed to Sky News.
The Financial Times had earlier reported the jet carrying Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land using paper maps after GPS navigation services at a Bulgarian airport were disabled.
The aircraft, which was flying to Plovdiv on Sunday afternoon, was deprived of electronic navigational aids as it approached the city's airport, the FT said.
It circled the airport for an hour before the pilot decided to manually land the plane using paper maps.
