Jun 9, 2024, 05:28 AM

South Korea has announced it will resume anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker broadcasts in response to North Korea's recent launch of hundreds of trash-filled balloons. The decision comes after North Korea sent hundreds more of these rubbish balloons across the border, which South Korea views as a provocation. The broadcasts, which will be conducted along the border, are part of South Korea's efforts to counter North Korea's propaganda and psychological warfare tactics.
