Russia is suspected of an interference attack that disabled the GPS on a plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, forcing it to land at a Bulgarian airport.
The plane landed safely at Plovdiv airport on Sunday, and Von der Leyen will continue her planned tour of EU nations bordering Russia and Belarus, the commission’s spokesperson Arianna Podesta said on Sept. 1.
