North Korea reportedly conducted a test broadcast of its propaganda loudspeakers along the inter-Korean border on Thursday, a week after Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, issued a warning. Local residents in Paju, South Korea, reported that the broadcasts commenced at 6 a.m., with the volume being relatively low but audible in the early morning hours.
One individual from Daeseongdong, the sole civilian village within the Demilitarized Zone, recounted hearing a brief moment of music followed by faint ghostly wails. Kim Yo-jong had warned on October 22 that propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts targeting South Korea would be operational on the inter-Korean border within the month. Her statement followed her inspection of the North's border fortification efforts and a threat to take military action against South Korean troops for firing warning shots at North Korean soldiers crossing the border. A resident of Tongilchon village in Paju confirmed hearing broadcasts.
