Since January 4, the signals of the GPS navigation system, which are used by citizens and the military, have been jammed along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, the maps of the GPS jam system indicate, writes 24 Chasa daily. At least 10% of users have no signal or receive incorrect data. 

GPS navigation is silenced from the Romanian port of Constanta along the entire Bulgarian coast and in the territorial waters of Turkey in the Black Sea. The data was collected from pilots of civilian aircraft who reported a lost connection.

In addition to the Black Sea, there are problems with the GPS signal in regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, in the Baltic States and along the eastern border of Poland. Moscow and Ankara are not covered. 

International experts believe that the GPS jamming is related to the war in Ukraine.
