The South Korean military suddenly resumed loudspeaker broadcasts at 1 p.m. on Sunday across all over the frontline area, raising the level of threat to the North Korean regime, which kept sending trash balloons despite continued warnings.

Given that loudspeaker broadcasts are one of the most terrifying tactics for North Korea in psychological warfare, experts foresee that the regime may carry out local armed provocations at the forefronts, taking the resumption of broadcasts as an excuse.

“Even if Pyongyang stops sending trash balloons, we will not likely put a complete halt on loudspeaker broadcasts but keep them partially on while keeping a close eye on its behavior.”
