Over the weekend, North Korea sent 330 balloons carrying 15 tonnes of rubbish into South Korea. Now, Seoul says it will restart loudspeaker broadcasts on the border, which will be 'unbearable for the North Korean regime'.
South Korea has vowed to blast 'unbearable' noise at North Korea for the first time since 2018 after Pyongyang sent more sewage-filled balloons over the border. Seoul's national security council said on Sunday it will restart loudspeaker broadcasts of anti-North Korean propaganda after 330 balloons dropped 15 tonnes of rubbish in South Korea throughout the weekend.
South Korea stopped its loudspeaker broadcasts in 2018 during a brief period of diplomacy with Pyongyang, when the countries signed an agreement to ease tensions. When they last were active, the broadcasts played K-pop songs, weather reports and attacks on North Korea's leadership. Coming from multiple speakers stacked in large racks, South Korea's military also claims the sound can travel more than 12.4 miles into North Korea.
