North Korea jammed GPS indicators for a fifth consecutive day on Tuesday, South Korea’s army mentioned, with the collection of jamming believed to be linked to the North’s personal coaching towards drones.
Following a number of jamming assaults North Korea performed close to the northwestern border islands between Could 29 and June 2, the North resumed the jamming just lately, in response to the South’s Joint Chiefs of Workers (JCS).
“The GPS sign jamming befell in some areas at the moment,” JCS spokesperson Col. Lee Sung-jun informed an everyday press briefing. “They befell within the western border islands, involving weak indicators within the early hours.”
In contrast with the jamming assaults earlier this yr that concerned stronger indicators in a transfer apparently concentrating on the South, Lee mentioned the GPS jamming staged this month is probably going linked to the North’s army coaching to reply to drones.
The JCS on Saturday mentioned the North has performed GPS jamming for a second straight day, urging the North to right away halt the provocation, and warned that it will likely be held accountable for its actions. (Yonhap)
