South Korea halts loudspeaker broadcasts along border with rival North Korea
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea's military has shut down loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda along the inter-Korean border, in a move aimed at easing tensions.
The South resumed the loudspeaker broadcasts in June last year following a yearslong pause in retaliation for North Korea flying trash-laden balloons toward the South in a psychological warfare campaign.
South Korea's Defense Ministry said Wednesday the move was part of efforts to "to restore trust in inter-Korean relations and promote peace on the Korean Peninsula."
