In this article we prove that sufficiently smooth solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP-II) equation:

$ \partial _t u+\partial^3_x u+\partial^{-1}_x\partial^2_y u+u\partial_x u =0, $

that have compact support for two different times are identically zero.

Keywords: Nonlinear dispersive equations, estimates of Carleman type..
