North Korea Makes False Claims that ROK Military has Restarted Loudspeaker Operations
Once again this all an attempt by North Korea to create tension and justify provocations in an attempt to get Seoul to respond in a way that justifies their upcoming nuclear test:
The issue of propaganda loudspeakers along the border may re-emerge as an area of disagreement between South and North Korea, in the wake of Pyongyang’s claim that Seoul has resumed the use of loudspeaker broadcasts.

Diplomatic observers say the loudspeaker issue could ratchet up tensions further on the Korean Peninsula.
On Monday, while accusing a South Korean naval ship of intruding in its waters, North Korea claimed that the South Korean military has been staging provocations recently, including loudspeaker broadcasts along the border.
However, the Ministry of National Defense said it is no longer operating loudspeakers along the border. Later it added that the South Korean military had recently used a similar broadcasting device ― installed at guard posts ― to notify helicopters for mobilization in operations to put out wildfires or transport emergency patients, a defense official here said.
The loudspeaker issue has been a hot-button issue between South and North Korea, leading to many disputes over the decades. Both sides have deployed speakers to direct propaganda at one another, and the North Korean regime has on many occasions responded sensitively to the matter.

Clearly a lie.
If you look closely at the picture, you will see the ROK military is only doing loudspeaker physical therapy.
Why do tinpot dictators think whinging like a two year old makes them look sympathetic or tough?
SK just wants Fatty 3 to listen to some K-pop.
Do the loudspeakers accomplish anything? I feel like the ballons were a better idea if the range could be extended and they could consistently get on target. Wouldn’t even be that hard. Just use mini zeppelins with preprogrammed flight paths.
