North Korea seen reinstalling border loudspeakers; satellite pictures show liaison office standing but damaged by HeeShin
SEOUL - North Korea is reinstalling loudspeakers blaring propaganda across the border in its latest step away from inter-Korean peace agreements, prompting the South’s military to explore similar moves, a South Korean military source said on Tuesday.
North Korea’s military was seen putting up loudspeakers near the demilitarised zone . Such systems were taken down after the two Koreas signed an accord in 2018 to cease “all hostile acts,” the military official said. The two countries have for decades pumped out propaganda from huge banks of speakers as a form of psychological warfare. The South aired a blend of news, Korean pop songs and criticism of the northern regime, while the North blasted the South and praised its own socialist system.
