North Korea has begun dismantling loudspeakers along the border, days after South Korea removed its own under President Lee Jae Myung’s policy to ease tensions.
The broadcasts, halted in June, had featured K-pop, news, and unsettling noises, escalating after balloon launches from both sides. Seoul’s military said it is monitoring whether all North Korean devices have been removed, according to Reuters.
Lee has also urged an end to anti-Pyongyang leaflets and offered unconditional talks. The Koreas remain technically at war since the 1950–53 conflict ended without a peace treaty.
