North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has grown more hostile towards the South’s conservative government
North Korea conducted GPS jamming attacks on Friday, affecting the operations of several ships and airplanes in South Korea, Seoul’s military said on Saturday.
“North Korea conducted GPS jamming provocations in Haeju and Kaesong yesterday and today (November 8-9),” Seoul’s joint chiefs of staff said in a statement Saturday, adding that several vessels and dozens of civilian aircraft were experiencing “some operational disruptions” as a result.
The allegations of the jamming attack come a week after North Korea test-fired what it described as its powerful solid-fuel ICBM missile.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) have warned ships and airplanes operating in the West Sea area to stay careful of North Korea’s GPS signal jamming.
The JCS has urged North Korea to stop the GPS jamming provocation.
