This time his country is sending signals to jam GPS systems at Incheon International Airport.
So far it's interfered with about 250 flights (mostly cargo) as well as many Korean Air flights and nine international carriers (I wonder if any were Chinese?). Thankfully no planes require GPS so long as the pilot knows what they're doing (it just makes their lives easier) so it's more of an inconvenience. Slight delays were about all that happened and now everything is back to normal, though the rays continue.
I guess their missile didn't work so they decide to annoy one of the largest airports in the world instead. It's silly and even sillier when you consider that Incheon is a major transit hub in NE Asia offering connections to China and SE Asia from Japan and North America (way to piss off your other neighbours).
So if anyone happens to be taking off from or landing at Incheon this morning, know that your pilot is doing it the old fashioned way :)
