N. Korea Halts GPS Jamming

North Korea has stopped its disruptions of Global Positioning System(GPS) signals after six days of jamming.
 
An official at the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning said Wednesday that the GPS disruptions halted Tuesday afternoon.
 
The government, however, will maintain the GPS jamming alert at the current second-lowest in its four-tier system for the time being.
 
A ministry official said that the government cannot let its guard down as jamming signals continued after previous intermissions of more than ten hours.
 
So far, about one-thousand airplanes, 715 ships and one-thousand-794 cell towers have been affected by the disruptions that began on Thursday, but no significant damage was reported.
