SEOUL — South Korea said Friday it has resumed blasting propaganda broadcasts into North Korea to retaliate against the North's latest round of trash-carrying balloon launches, a resumption of Cold War-style tactics that are raising animosities between the rivals.South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that it used frontline loudspeakers to blare anti-Pyongyang broadcasts over the border between Thursday evening and Friday morning.
Earlier this week, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hinted at flying rubbish-carrying balloons again or launching new countermeasures, saying South Korean balloons have been found again at the border and other areas in North Korea.In her statement Tuesday, Kim Yo Jong warned that South Korean 'scum' must be ready to pay 'a gruesome and dear price.' That raised concerns that North Korea could stage physical provocations, rather than balloon launches.
