  "account": "North Korea plans to activate loudspeaker propaganda systems along its border with South Korea, according to Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un. The move is set to take effect this October and is described as a \"suitable response\" to alleged provocations by the South Korean military. Kim Yo Jong accused the South Korean army of firing warning shots at two locations on Wednesday and labelled South Korea as the \"most abhorrent and vicious enemy of the world\". The South Korean military has not commented on the allegations. The two Koreas have a history of using loudspeakers to broadcast propaganda and have been in a state of heightened tension, with North Korea conducting recent missile tests.",
  "summary": "In recent years, North and South Korea have repeatedly used propaganda loudspeakers as part of psychological warfare. Now Pyongyang is announcing their renewed use.",
