South Korea Finishes Removing Border Loudspeakers
This initiative is part of a broader attempt to alleviate ongoing tensions between the two Koreas.
According to a news agency, citing military personnel, approximately 20 loudspeakers situated in front-line zones were completely taken down by Tuesday afternoon—almost a day after the military commenced the removal process.
Despite this gesture from the South, officials noted on Tuesday that North Korea had not exhibited any indication of taking down its own border loudspeakers following South Korea’s dismantling efforts.
That said, since June, Pyongyang had already halted its speaker-based sound offensives directed at the South.
This development follows an order issued less than two months ago by President Lee Jae Myung, who directed the halt of South Korea’s loudspeaker operations in the border regions as part of a strategy to restore dialogue with the North.
South Korea had revived the use of these broadcasts in June of the previous year—after a six-year break—in retaliation for North Korea’s recurring tactic of launching balloons filled with refuse across the demilitarized zone.
