Planes, Boats Hit by North Korea GPS Signal Jamming

North Korea's jamming of GPS signals has the Pentagon worried about public safety in the region.

Fox News reports that North Korea, which began jamming the signals in South Korea last week, has affected passenger airplanes, Uber drivers, fishing boats, and people who use GPS signals for directions.

The U.S. military's 30,000 troops stationed in South Korea use an encrypted GPS system, which is immune to the jamming.

North Korea last jammed GPS signals on its southern neighbor in 2012, reports Fox, which says several officials at the Department of Defense told the network the U.S. is growing concerned over the latest round of GPS jamming.
