North Korea plans to resume anti-Seoul propaganda broadcasts via loudspeakers along the heavily armed southern border. Announced by Kim Jong Un's sister, this move revives a psychological warfare campaign. Pyongyang also recently stated that it has moved new military units into firing positions along the border.
These developments follow a series of confrontations inside the demilitarised zone, including a landmine explosion last month that injured three South Korean soldiers.
In response, South Korea's military has proposed talks with North Korea to resolve disputes and differences over the location of their land border. South Korea is attempting to mutually determine the border to prevent accidental clashes amid escalating tensions and military incidents.
These ongoing threats and border tensions deal a blow to South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's efforts to ease inter-Korean hostility.
