UN aviation authority condemns North Korea GPS jamming near Incheon airport

ICAO warns DPRK to prevent recurrence, as Seoul accuses Pyongyang of endangering aircraft through signal disruptions

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted a resolution last week condemning the GPS jamming by North Korea between May 29 and June 2, according to a press release by South Korea’s foreign ministry.
