North Korea may have tested its propaganda loudspeakers along the inter-Korean border on Thursday, one week after the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a warning. Residents in the South Korean border city of Paju reported that the broadcasts began at 6 a.m., with the volume described as relatively low but audible in the early morning.
A resident of Daeseongdong, the only civilian village within the Demilitarized Zone, stated that they initially heard music, followed by faint ghostly wails. Kim Yo-jong, North Korea's powerful sister, had warned on October 22 that propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts would be ready along the inter-Korean border within the month. Her warning came after she inspected the North's border fortification work and threatened military action against South Korean troops for firing warning shots at North Korean soldiers crossing the border.
