The GPS of a plane carrying the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, encountered suspected Russian interference while trying to land in Bulgaria, a spokesperson for the Commission told TIME.
“We have received information from Bulgarian authorities that they suspect this blatant interference was carried out by Russia. We are well aware that threats and intimidation are a regular component of Russia’s hostile actions,” said European Commission Deputy Chief Spokesperson Arianna Podestà in an emailed statement, reiterating that the plane landed safely on Sunday despite the GPS jamming.
