North Korea Attempts To Jam GPS Signals In South Korea
» by GI Korea in: North Korea
While people in North Korea continue to starve the Kim regime is busy spending money on devices that will do nothing more than jam the GPS receivers for Seoul taxi drivers:
North Korea recently jammed GPS signals in South Korea in an apparent bid to disrupt Seoul’s annual military drills with U.S. forces, government sources said Sunday.
GPS signals in Seoul and nearby cities, including Incheon and Paju, were temporarily disrupted on Friday afternoon, causing mobile phones and certain military equipment in the area to malfunction, the sources said.
“My understanding is that errors were detected in a very few equipment within the telecom industry,” a defense official said. “Some measurement equipment in artillery units was also affected but only very slightly.”
The jamming signals are thought to have come from vehicle-mountable devices at military units north of the inter-Korean border. Former Defense Minister Kim Tae-young said in October that he had intelligence that the communist regime had imported from Russia such devices capable of jamming GPS signals. [Yonhap]
