Middle East conflict, GPS signals disrupted, Pakistani flight locations start appearing in India again

Recent military tensions in the Middle East, particularly around Iran due to threats of a US attack, have led to significant GPS signal interference affecting flight tracking. Two Qatar Airways flights from Doha to Karachi (QR-604) and Doha to Islamabad (QR-632) experienced GPS spoofing, causing their live locations and landing data to be erroneously displayed in Indian cities. Flight QR-604 was shown landing in Amritsar, and QR-632 in Kochi, India, despite both flights landing safely and on schedule at their intended destinations in Pakistan. This technical malfunction in positioning systems, often occurring during US military movements near Iran, disrupts radar and tracking data for air traffic. The issue is not limited to aircraft, as ships in the region are also reportedly facing GPS signal problems due to the current security situation and military buildup.
