North Korea jams GPS navigation on the border with South Korea for the tenth day in a row

For the tenth day in a row, the military of the DPRK creates obstacles to the work of the global GPS navigation system on the border with South Korea, which threatens the safety of civilians shipping and air transportation.

According to Ukrinform, Yonhap reports this.

South Korean experts discovered attempts by North Korea to jam GPS signals near the northwestern islands in the Yellow Sea and their gradual transfer in an easterly direction along the inter-Korean border.

Seoul's defense ministry noted that the current jamming attempts used weaker signals than before and lasted for a shorter period of time of time.

According to the South Korean military, such GPS jamming operations are part of Pyongyang's efforts to prevent possible drone flights carrying propaganda materials against the North Korean regime from the South to the North.

In Seoul said that the obstacles created by North Korea do not affect military equipment or the activities of the South Korean army, but may disrupt the safe operation of civilian ships and aircraft.

North Korea has not resorted to such actions for the first time. Between May 29 and June 2 this year, about 500 aircraft and hundreds of ships encountered GPS problems due to North Korean interference. The International Civil Aviation Organization then issued a warning to Pyongyang.
