South Korea’s new liberal President Lee halted the South’s broadcasts in a first step toward easing tensions between the rival nations
South Korea’s military said Saturday it detected North Korea removing some of its loudspeakers from the inter-Korean border, days after the South dismantled its own front-line speakers used for anti-North Korean propaganda broadcasts in a bid to ease tensions.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff did not disclose the sites where the North Koreans were removing speakers and said it wasn’t immediately clear whether the North would take all of them down.
In recent months, South Korean border residents have complained that North Korean speakers blasted irritating sounds, including howling animals and pounding gongs, in a tit-for-tat response to South Korean propaganda broadcasts.
