North Korea says border loudspeakers will be ready within days
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said propaganda loudspeakers along the entire border with South Korea will be ready to restart within days. She was responding to an adviser to South Korean President Lee Jae Myung who accused the North of planting mines that wounded South Korean soldiers.
Why it matters
Restarting broadcasts would reverse efforts by Seoul's government to ease tensions on the peninsula.
Background
The two Koreas have used loudspeaker broadcasts across the border for decades as psychological warfare. President Lee took office in 2025 promising to reduce hostility.
