North Korea has suspended plans to increase military pressure against South Korea, after weeks of rapidly deteriorating ties which included blowing up a joint liaison office used for talks between the two sides.
The decision comes following a meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the central military commission on Tuesday, which"took stock of the prevailing situation," according to North Korean media Korean Central News Agency .
The group said it also sent 500 booklets about"successful South Korea," 2,000 American one-dollar bills and 1,000 SD cards, using the 20 balloons. In retaliation to the initial leaflet drop, North Korea cut communication lines with the South and blew up the joint liaison office, which is located in the town of Kaesong just north of the DMZ.
