South Korea Loudspeakers

North Korea on Sunday floated balloons carrying trash towards South Korea, South Korea's military said, declaring it would respond with "full-scale" loudspeaker broadcasts.

The loudspeakers deployed by South Korea to wage psychological warfare against North Korea faced audits and legal battles claiming they were too quiet, raising questions over how far into the reclusive North their propaganda messages could blast.

South Korea's military fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border this week, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday, as tensions have spiked with the trading of trash-filled balloons and loudspeaker messages.

In a move signalling heightened tensions with its neighbour, South Korea has announced its decision to resume loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea for the first time in six years.

South Korea resumed loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea on Sunday, its military said, following through on a warning demanding Pyongyang stop sending balloons carrying trash into the South.

North and South Korea began dismantling loudspeakers that blared propaganda across their heavily fortified border on Tuesday, South Korea's defense ministry said, fulfilling a promise made at last week's historic summit.

In initial small steps toward reconciliation, South Korea said on Monday it would remove loudspeakers that blared propaganda across the border, while North Korea said it would shift its clocks to align with its southern neighbour.

South Korea is using giant loudspeakers to blast news of the dramatic assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un's half-brother across the border with its reclusive northern neighbour, it was reported Thursday.

South Korea switched off loudspeakers blasting propaganda messages into North Korea after the two rivals reached a compromise deal today and stepped back from the brink of an armed clash.

South and North Korea agreed to hold top-level talks Saturday as a North Korean deadline loomed for Seoul to halt loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts across the border or face military action.

South Korean troops stood at maximum alert Saturday with North Korea threatening to go to war unless Seoul meets a looming deadline to halt loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts across the border.
