Due to GPS signal jamming in the Gulf of Oman, nearly 1,000 ships, including cargo and oil tankers, have lost their navigation capabilities. This disruption, attributed to the ongoing conflict in the region, has resulted in significant maritime traffic issues, with a reported 70% decrease in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The jamming is primarily affecting vessels relying on the outdated L1 C/A GPS signal.
