LUXEMBOURG: NATO takes the jamming of GPS signals 'very seriously' and the alliance is working 'day and night' to prevent that jamming, to ensure "they will not do it again", NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Tuesday.

He was asked about the jamming of the GPS system of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's airplane on Sunday while she was en route to Bulgaria, an incident where Russian interference was suspected.
