EU head von der Leyen’s plane landing on Sunday hit by suspected Russian GPS interference, FT says

(Reuters) -A suspected Russian interference attack disabled GPS navigation services at a Bulgarian airport and forced a plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to land at Plovdiv on Sunday using paper maps, the Financial Times reported, citing three officials familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
