May 15, 2012 (newstodate): Good news from Korea is that North Korea has reportedly stopped jamming GPS signals used by South Korea's civil aviation.
North Korea again started jamming GPS signals by the end of April 2012, disturbing flights by Korean carriers as well as at least 11 other international airlines.
The jamming did pose a potential threat to aviation, but aircraft systems will automatically switch to back-up systems when jamming is detected, and no major incidents due to jamming had been reported.
North Korea has several times turned to jamming GPS signals, and this action was stepped up significantly in connection with the country's recent, and aborted, attempt to launch a ballistic long-range missile.
