North Korea Dismantles Border Propaganda Loudspeakers Amid Tensions with South Korea
North Korea has removed some of its propaganda loudspeakers from the inter-Korean border, days after South Korea dismantled its own speakers to ease tensions. The move comes as part of a bid to reduce military presence and rhetoric along their shared border.
North Korea has removed some of its propaganda loudspeakers from the inter-Korean border, a move seen as an effort to ease tensions with South Korea following days of similar actions by Seoul's military. The development comes after South Korea dismantled its own front-line speakers in a bid to reduce propaganda broadcasts that have long been a source of irritation between the two nations. The removal of loudspeakers is believed to be a gesture of goodwill from North Korea, although it remains to be seen how much of an impact it will have on the fragile détente. The move follows days of similar actions by South Korean forces who removed their own speakers in response to North Korea's broadcasts.
