Russia is feared to have hit a Spanish Air Force plane with a GPS attack after a flight carrying Spain's defence minister suffered an electronic 'disturbance'.
The suspected attack happened this morning after the Spanish Airbus A330 carrying Margarita Robles flew over the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad on its way to Lithuania.
Robles was due to meet with her Lithuanian counterpart Dovile Sakaliene at the Siauliai airbase in the north of the country on Wednesday morning.
Several relatives of Spanish airmen serving in the new NATO air defence mission on the border with Russia were onboard with Robles.
The Spanish contingent, known as the Vilkas mission, from the Lithuanian word for wolf, last week intercepted eight Russian aircraft operating over the Baltic Sea.
