MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 12th November, 2018) A Kremlin spokesman on Monday denied knowledge of Russia's alleged role in the glitches experienced by the US global positioning system, GPS, during this month's NATO military exercises.

"We have no knowledge of Russia's alleged role in GPS glitches. You should ask experts or the Defense Ministry.

But there is an obvious trend to blame Russia for everything. As a rule, these accusations are baseless," Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

The two-week Trident Juncture exercises in northern European countries, including Finland, were overshadowed by several instances in which pilots reported losing GPS signals. Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said on Sunday they were being investigated as possible jamming by Russia.
