North Korea prepares to restart propaganda loudspeakers as ties sour with South
North Korea is planning to reactivate its border loudspeaker system that broadcasts propaganda, officials said, as relations with South Korea deteriorate. Kim Yo‑jong, the leader’s sister, toured fortified border sites and warned of heightened threats. The loudspeakers, dormant for years, are intended to broadcast messages across the Demilitarized Zone. The move follows recent diplomatic strains and increased military posturing between the two Koreas.
