| South Korea fishing boats turn back after North "disrupts GPS" |

| South Korea warned North Korea on Friday to stop disrupting GPS signal reception which it said forced some fishing boats to return to port and vowed to take action if it continued amid heightened tension over the North's nuclear and rocket tests. The South said that it had traced signals that disrupted Global Positioning Satellite reception in the South to four regions in the North close to the rivals' armed border on Thursday and again on Friday. South Korea has been on high alert against possible cyber attacks from the North, after its angry rhetoric threatening war and further weapons tests in response to new sanctions imposed last month by the U.N. Security Council and the South. |
