South Korea announced that it will start broadcasting loudspeaker messages at the border on Sunday in response to Pyongyang resuming the launch of balloons carrying trash, according to a statement from the South's National Security Council.
In the past, South Korea utilized these broadcasts as psychological warfare tactics, targeting #DPRK residents with anti-DPRK messages, K-pop music, and narratives extolling South Korea's alleged democratic and economic systems.
Seoul ceased these broadcasts in 2018 during a phase of renewed diplomacy between the two but reinstalled the loudspeakers this week.
The decision to reactivate the loudspeakers comes a day after South Korea said the DPRK sent around 330 balloons filled with waste paper, plastic, and other trash across the border, marking the third such launch in less than two weeks.
