The government said Thursday that North Korea's disruptions of global positioning system(GPS) signals, which began last Thursday, have stopped as of Tuesday afternoon.
 
South Korea's Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning explained that the North's GPS jamming and suspension occurred repeatedly over eleven times between last Thursday and this Tuesday. It said the interference stopped as of 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
 
The ministry said that because the jamming has taken place intermittently, the alert level on the GPS assault will be maintained at the current level even though disruption signals have ceased. 
 
So far, one-thousand-seven airplanes, 715 ships and nearly 18-hundred mobile communication base stations in South Korea have been affected by the North's jamming. 
 
The science ministry said that no significant damage has been reported.
