Summary

North Korea’s GPS jamming attacks on November 8-9 disrupted the operations of ships and civilian aircraft in South Korea, according to Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

South Korea issued warnings to vessels and aircraft in the West Sea, urging caution amid heightened tensions.

This provocation follows North Korea’s recent solid-fuel ICBM test and ongoing hostilities, including trash balloon campaigns and missile launches.

Relations have deteriorated as Kim Jong Un’s regime distances itself from reconciliation and reportedly supports Russia’s war in Ukraine with military resources.
