Korea Conflict: North Korea Announces Use of Propaganda Loudspeakers
In recent years, North and South Korea have repeatedly used propaganda loudspeakers as part of psychological warfare. Now Pyongyang is announcing their renewed use.
North Korea has announced it will activate loudspeaker propaganda systems along its border with South Korea, a move set to take effect this October, according to Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un. The decision is a response to alleged provocations by the South Korean military, which Kim Yo Jong claims fired warning shots at two locations on Wednesday.
South Korea's military has not commented on the accusations. The move is part of a longstanding practice by both Koreas to broadcast propaganda messages and, in North Korea's case, noise to influence and harass the other's population. The Korean Peninsula remains tense, with recent North Korean rocket tests and a September 21 incident where three South Korean soldiers were injured by a landmine.
