Ministry of Science and ICT: 331 cases of North Korean GPS jamming in 10 days, no actual damage but ongoing response

In the first 10 days of this month, there have been 331 cases of North Korea jamming its GPS (Global Positioning System) system. Although there have been no actual damages, the government has decided to maintain a constant response posture.
The Ministry of Science and ICT released a press release on the 10th stating, "Radio interference signals coming from the direction of Kaepun and Haeju in North Korea were continuously detected by the radio monitoring system of the Central Radio Control Center.
"From the 1st to 11 a.m. on the 10th, there were a total of 331 reports of GPS signal reception problems, including 279 for aircraft and 52 for ships, but no actual damage such as operational accidents occurred," the agency said.
GPS jamming is a method of disrupting the normal use of GPS signal-based services by transmitting jamming signals in the GPS frequency band that are higher than the signals received by GPS.
The Ministry of Science and Information Technology operates a system for constantly monitoring GPS radio interference, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issues aviation notices warning users of GPS and recommends alternative aircraft navigation and ground navigation.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is taking measures to ensure smooth operation by utilizing safe navigation facilities and providing support to control agencies. The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is reporting interference, providing guidance on safe fishing operations in cooperation with the Coast Guard, issuing navigational warnings, and providing alternative routes for ships.
The Ministry of Science and Information Technology is closely monitoring the GPS radio interference situation to prevent any damage to aircraft and ships, and is constantly working with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and other related ministries and agencies to prevent such damage.
They made it clear that they would maintain their response posture.
