Dozens of flights, ships disrupted after North Korea jams GPS signals, Seoul says
South Korea has accused North Korea of disrupting GPS signals from border areas, affecting dozens of flights and ship operations.
North Korea’s GPS signal jamming took place on Friday and Saturday and was detected from around the cities of Kaesong and Haeju, officials said.
“We urge North Korea to stop GPS interference provocations immediately and strongly warn that it will be held fully accountable for any resulting consequences,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
South Korea’s military did not specify how Pyongyang was interfering with GPS signals or the extent of disruptions.
Last month, North Korea blew up sections of its unused road and rail routes linked with the South, days after the North claimed that the South flew drones and dropped leaflets over its capital Pyongyang.
