South Korea’s girl, the leader’s sister, warned of reprisals against it after it resumed loudspeaker channels for the first time in years, indicating an intensification of tensions along one of the most military borders in the world.
Due to the monitors and advocate groups sending propaganda across the frontier against the Kim mom’s rule, Kim Yo Jong claimed there might be a “new countermeasure”. She has served as the focal point for stress campaigns against Seoul and Washington and is Kim Jong Un’s younger sister.
According to the standard Asian Central News Agency,” This is a precursor to a very dangerous position.” The statement is equivalent to a common airing of protests against the South Korean president’s government, which is encased in a warning of improved conflict.
After complaining that South Korea was conducting surveillance airlines, North Korea began sending thousands of balloons carrying debris across the border late last month. Additionally, the action appeared to be in response to North Korean activists who previously sent balloons into North Korea with anti-Pyongyang messages earlier in May.
For more than a decade, thousands of flyers containing information critical of North Korea’s officials have been flown across the frontier from South Asian activists and dissenters from North Korea. There is always a chance of an escalation because hundreds of thousands of soldiers are facing one another along a cushion that divides the island.
A team in South Korea led by defectors from North Korea flew 10 huge helium balloons north across the border on Thursday last year, carrying around 200 000 leaflets criticizing the Kim program, U.S. dollar bills, and USB sticks containing K-pop music in a new move that sparked Pyongyang’s fury.
Yoon’s government resumed activities when prohibited by the deal, including the use of loudspeakers, last week by halting a border deal signed in 2018 to lessen tensions brought on by the North Korean trash balloons. South Korea’s defense Sunday began the channels, blasting its” Voice of Freedom” television program run by the Defense Ministry’s emotional warfare system, Yonhap News reported. In accordance with the frontier package, the two Koreas in 2018 stopped loudspeaker channels.
North Korea, which had partially scrapped its bubble plan, began flying them again over the weekend — sending more than 300 west, South Korea’s military said. Kim’s government had sent more than 1, 000 bubbles recently carrying things such as wastepaper, cigarette butts, foot parts and used batteries.
