Al Jazeera
North Korean GPS jamming operation began on Friday and continued on Saturday, impacting several vessels at sea and dozens of civilian aircraft, South Korea said.
North Korea has staged a Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming attack, Seoul’s military has said, an ongoing disruption operation that has impacted several ships and dozens of civilian aircraft in South Korea.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) on Saturday warned ships and aircraft operating in the West Sea area, also known as the Yellow Sea, to be cautious of North Korea’s GPS signal jamming.
“North Korea conducted GPS jamming provocations in Haeju and Kaesong yesterday and today [November 8-9],” the JCS said in a statement, adding that several vessels and dozens of civilian aircraft were experiencing “some operational disruptions” as a result.
GPS relies on a network of satellites and receivers that allows for global positioning and navigation.
The JCS also called on North Korea to immediately halt the interference and warned it would be held accountable for its actions.
