Seoul: North Korea appears to be jamming GPS signals in wider regions along its border with South Korea, a military official said, with the series of jamming believed to be linked to the North's own training against drones. According to Yonhap News Agency, North Korea has attempted to jam GPS signals for the eighth consecutive day from November 8 to 15. The jamming attacks were initially carried out within the Northwest Islands but have since expanded to the Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon provinces. The source further reported that following multiple jamming attacks conducted by North Korea near the northwestern border islands between May 29 and June 2, the North has recently resumed this interference. In comparison to the earlier attacks this year, which involved stronger signals seemingly targeting the South, the recent GPS jamming is likely linked to North Korea's military training to respond to drones, as per South Korea's military assessment.
