TL;DR Summary

Russia is believed to have jammed the satellite signal on a plane carrying UK Defence Minister Grant Shapps while flying close to Russia's Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, causing mobile phones to lose internet connection and the aircraft to rely on alternative methods to determine its location. The incident, confirmed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesperson, was described as "not unusual" and did not pose a safety threat, but it has raised concerns about international relations and potential security implications.
