The BBC's new Korean-language service is being "aggressively targeted" by North Korean jamming of its broadcasts.

The service was launched on Monday (September 25) and delivers a mixture of global news, sport and radio features to the whole of the Korean Peninsula for a three-hour window that starts at midnight local time.

Broadcasts are going out on two shortwave frequencies, from Taiwan and Tashkent, while the hour-long segment from 1am is relayed on medium wave from Mongolia, according to a report on the 38 North website, operated by the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University.
