NATO’s chief Mark Rutte says the organisation takes GPS jamming “very seriously” after a jet carrying the EU Commission president was targeted in suspected Russian interference yesterday.
Speaking in Luxembourg, Rutte says NATO is working “day and night” to make sure “they will not do it again.”
He also warns: “We’re all on the eastern flank now, whether you live in London or anywhere.”

In Beijing, Vladimir Putin has dismissed claims that Moscow was planning to attack Europe if it was successful against Ukraine.
Speaking alongside Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister, Putin added that claims of Russia’s intention to attack other European countries were either “a provocation or incompetence”.
European fears of Russian aggression stem from a belief in some circles of the Kremlin that parts of Eastern Europe that were in the Soviet Union essentially belong to Russia.
Putin also claimed that Moscow had never opposed Ukraine’s EU membership, but said Ukraine joining NATO was “unacceptable”.
The Russian leader said this was something he discussed at his meeting with Donald Trump in Alaska.
As part of what our Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith<\/a><\/b> describes as a “marathon of diplomacy,” Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin met today.
Watch her analysis of what was said, and why it matters…
Xi Jinping has invited 26 heads of state to Beijing for his military parade tomorrow.
Vladimir Putin is arguably the most high-profile visitor, but here’s everyone else on the guestlist:
As Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping meet in Beijing, with Moscow hoping to forge even closer relations, Russia has launched a rare daytime attack on the Ukrainian capital.
Shortly after 9.30am in Ukraine (7.30am UK time), Kyiv’s city military administration said its air defences were activated to “eliminate the threat in the skies”.
It asked people to stay in shelters until the end of the alarm.
Andriy Yermak, the head of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s presidential office, said: “Russia is not pursuing any military targets right now, it is attacking the city during working hours, when there are many people on the streets.”
Iranian-made Shahed drones were used in the attack, he said.
These pictures are believed to show Kim Jong Un arriving in Beijing.
The train matches one the North Korean leader was pictured in at an earlier stage of the journey, with his country’s flag and the same insignia on the outside.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency also reported that a train presumed to be carrying Kim had arrived in Beijing.
Kim’s trip took around a day from Pyongyang.
A short while afterwards, a North Korean motorcade was pictured leaving the train station.

As Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping meet in Beijing, the two countries are announcing closer ties.
China is going to introduce visa-free travel for Russian citizens, one of Putin’s top advisers says.
Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin’s investment envoy, says from 15 September Russian citizens would be able to travel to China for 30 days without a visa.
The move marks the increasingly close relations between Beijing and Moscow.
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have taken a walk together in the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing, where it’s just before 4pm.
The two leaders have been trying to project unity during Putin’s four-day trip to China.
Moscow is reliant on Beijing’s trade to help its struggling wartime economy.
Xi has also sat down with leaders from Mongolia and Pakistan today, while Slovakia’s prime minister, Robert Fico, has also arrived before tomorrow’s military parade.
Today is the third of four days in which China’s Xi Jinping is hosting world leaders.
It began with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit on Sunday and will end with a major military parade tomorrow.
Our Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith<\/a><\/b> goes behind the scenes of the parade and looks at what’s involved in the massive event…
