North Korea threatens South Korea with the restart of loudspeaker propaganda
North Korea plans to activate loudspeakers for propaganda against South Korea, as announced by Kim Yo-jong. She warned Seoul of severe consequences for any mistakes. This comes amid heightened tensions due to military fortifications along the border. The South Korean military reported no signs of new North Korean weapon deployments, urging Pyongyang to avoid actions that could escalate conflicts. Tensions increased after a landmine explosion injured three South Korean soldiers, which Seoul attributes to North Korea, a claim denied by Pyongyang. Trust in Washington has weakened among Asian allies following Trump's comments favoring North Korea.
