In a bold escalation, South Korea has announced that it will resume anti-North Korean propaganda broadcasts via loudspeakers in border areas. This decision comes in response to persistent North Korean trash-dropping balloon campaigns, according to the South Korean presidential office.
The announcement followed a national security meeting and specified that the loudspeakers would be installed and begin operation on Sunday. This measure is expected to incite anger from North Korea and may prompt them to undertake their own retaliatory military actions.
Last weekend, North Korea launched hundreds of trash-carrying balloons into South Korea, marking their third such campaign since late May. This follows a similar action by South Korean activists who floated propaganda leaflets into North Korea.
