South Korea resumes loudspeaker broadcasts against North Korea in border regions due to trash balloons from Pyongyang, escalating tensions between the two Koreas.
Over 1,000 balloons with garbage, including waste paper and even excrement, have landed in northern South Korea, prompting Seoul to reinstate the tactic discontinued in 2018.
North Korea's trash balloon campaign is seen as retaliation for propaganda leaflets sent from the South, leading to fears of further military escalation.
Seoul's decision to restart loudspeaker messages, dating back to the Korean War, is expected to provoke North Korea and possibly prompt military retaliation from Kim Jong Un.
