Defining the News
SEOUL – The South Korean military on Friday said it had restarted loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts directed at North Korea in response to Pyongyang sending hundreds of trash-carrying balloons across the border.
Following the warnings, “our military conducted loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts towards the North” from Thursday evening to Friday morning, it added. The propaganda broadcasts — a tactic which dates back to the Korean War — infuriate Pyongyang, which previously threatened artillery strikes against Seoul’s loudspeaker units.
The JCS said it had identified around 200 trash-carrying balloons sent by North Korea as of Friday morning, with about 40 balloons landing in the northern area of Gyeonggi province that surrounds the South Korean capital. The North’s balloons have disrupted more than 100 flights carrying 10,000 passengers, a South Korean lawmaker said early this month.
