The warning indicates it will last until the end of the month. According to the Finnish TV channel MTV3, the warning also extends to several dozen kilometres of territory of Finland.
At the end of last year, the Ministry of defense of Norway made a statement that Russia interfered in the work of GPS during NATO exercise Trident Juncture. The Norwegian Ministry said that “in the period between 16 October and 7 November, there was a jamming signal [GPS]” and that “these are Russian forces on the Kola Peninsula”. Then the foreign Ministry of Finland has also published the claim that a violation signal comes from the territory of the Russian Federation. While Norway and Finland had not provided evidence that the violation was from the Russian Federation.
In turn, the press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin was unaware of the problems in the GPS navigation during the exercise NATO and that Russia may have some relevance to these failures.
The main exercise was held at a military firing range near the city of Trondheim.
Large-scale maneuvers held from 25 October to 7 November. According to legend, NATO, together with partners, learn to save some small country from the attacks of the aggressor.
The exercise involved 10 thousand units of machinery, 250 aircraft and 65 ships, including nuclear aircraft carrier.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the Alliance is notified in advance of Russia on the conduct of the exercise and invited Russian observers. According to him, the maneuvers are purely defensive in nature.
The exercises are held in the Central and Eastern parts of Norway — a country that has a 200 kilometer border with Russia.
Norway is a country with a very difficult to combat the terrain and climate, military experts say.
