An RAF aircraft carrying UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps faced a GPS signal disruption for 30 minutes near Kaliningrad.

The incident, suspected to be due to Russian hackers, occurred on a flight from Poland to the UK.

Despite the disruption, the aircraft's safety remained intact by switching to alternative navigation methods.

GPS signal disruptions are reportedly not unusual for the region's airspace.

The Defense Ministry has suggested the disruption could be an instance of 'Russian electronic warfare'.

The incident aligns with broader concerns regarding Ukraine tensions and Russia's satellite warfare capabilities.

Security sources are continuing to monitor the situation, with further details anticipated.
