Pyongyang guarantees that propaganda loudspeakers will be ready in a few days

Kim Yo-jong announced that North Korea's new propaganda loudspeakers aimed at South Korea will be operational soon.

Kim criticized the South Korean government for its perceived weakness and stated that fortifying the southern border would reduce the risk of military conflict. She inspected ongoing fortification works and mentioned the positioning of new firing units. Meanwhile, North Korean military officials warned of a strong military response to any provocations from the South, which has also acknowledged its defensive measures.
