'North Korea jamming' hits South Korea flights. possible war?

look like something bad will happen

Jamming signals thought to be from North Korea have affected GPS navigation on at least 250 flights, South Korean officials say.

Nine South Korean and nine foreign airlines have been affected since Saturday, the Transport Ministry said.

The flights had to rely on alternative navigation systems but were in no danger, the ministry added.

The South has accused the North - with which it remains technically at war - of similar incidents in the past.

"We've confirmed the GPS [global positioning system] jamming signals have been stemming from the North," Lee Kyung-woo, deputy director at Seoul's Korea Communications Commission, was quoted by Agence-France Presse news agency as saying.

The transport ministry has not set out who was to blame. But director Kim Choon-oh told the agency the GPS disruption was noticeable at Incheon international airport.

He said there was "no serious threat to the safety of flights because planes are using other navigation devices".

South Korea has accused Pyongyang of jamming before, in August 2010 and March 2011.

Ongoing conflict
Tension on the Korean peninsula remains high following Pyongyang's failed rocket launch over the Yellow Sea on 13 April.

Pyongyang said at the time it was putting a satellite into orbit but critics said the launch was a disguised test of missile technology banned under UN resolutions.

The two countries remain technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce.

On 23 April, the North warned of "unprecedented" action against the South, saying a special operation to begin "soon" would "reduce its target to ashes".

Last week, South Korea said there were signs that North Korea was planning a third nuclear test. It conducted its last nuclear test in 2009 amid the uproar over its missile tests earlier that year.

look like something bad will happen? but it is possible both country will wage war against each other?

No, there won't be a war. This (and similar stuff) happens all the time.

No, there won't be a war. This (and similar stuff) happens all the time.

then why north korea say "reduce its target to ashes"... means that they are planning to destroy something

So glad, we would all be dommed if that would happen for realz...

At first I thought you meant a missile hit a plane or something. On occasion there's south koreans who die from north korean tests(with artillery and watnot?) etc. The only thing that could actually start the war is a nuke, so the south koreans should make sure to protect their mail boxes.

well it true

critics said the launch was a disguised test of missile technology banned under UN resolutions.

the missile they use was already banned by the US.

If north korea does go far enough, I bet even russia and china would help us kick their ass. I mean yeah, that part of the world has all their totalitarians and pseudo-communists, but north korea is just the stupid little brother.

The UN is not the US.  The UN is the United Nations which is an organization that maintains international law and is ran by representatives of some countries but not all. 

Seriously, Jomarcenter.
War REALLY won't happen soon.
South Korea actually views North Korea as brothers. After all they ARE koreans too. They're the same blood, y'know.

Yeah, pretty sure that didn't stop them the first time.

It also didn't stop the American Civil War, or the French Revolution, or you know, any other revolution or civil war in history.

Also explains why both countries build giant empty cities along the border like some giant international pissing contest.

We're still a part of the UN, so technically it is banned by us as well.

Yes but I just wanted to clarify that it isn't just the US that calls the shots on that...The US just cries like a baby until the UN agrees on some occasions (maybe most, but I don't want to exaggerated).
