South Korea Resumes Full-Scale Loudspeaker Broadcasts, Warns North Korea of Fatal Price

Jul 21, 2024, 12:26 AM

South Korea has resumed full-scale loudspeaker broadcasts near the North Korean border in response to North Korea's recent launch of balloons likely carrying trash. This move marks a resumption of Cold War-style tactics, escalating tensions between the two nations. The South's military began the broadcasts overnight from Thursday to Friday, playing propaganda, including K-pop and news on Samsung. North Korea has been sending balloons filled with trash, including human waste, towards the South since May, with the latest launch occurring on Sunday. Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff have vowed to continue these broadcasts in retaliation for the North's repeated provocations, warning the North of a 'fatal price'.
