00:00A plane carrying the EU's top official suddenly lost GPS, mid-air, over Bulgaria.
00:06And NATO says Russia's to blame.
00:08Ursula von der Leyen was flying over Bulgarian airspace when her plane's GPS went dark.
00:14Officials say Russian jamming caused the blackout, a chilling sign of growing hybrid attacks across Europe.
00:20NATO isn't staying silent.
00:22Secretary General Mark Ruda called it a direct threat to the entire continent.
00:26He warned,
00:27We're all on the eastern flank now, whether you live in London or Tallinn.
00:32The jamming wasn't random.
00:34It's part of a larger Russian strategy, from cyberattacks on hospitals to cutting undersea cables.
00:40And now they're targeting civilian flights.
00:43Ruda slammed it as potentially disastrous and said NATO is working around the clock to make sure this doesn't happen again.
00:50Meanwhile, Bulgaria says it won't investigate, calling it a daily occurrence in Europe since Russia's war in Ukraine.
00:56The Kremlin?
00:58Silent.
00:59So is von der Leyen.
01:00But Europe just got a loud wake-up call.
01:02If GPS signals can be hijacked mid-flight, what's next?
