Tensions between North and South Korea have escalated with both nations engaging in psychological warfare. South Korea has resumed loudspeaker broadcasts at the border, blaring news and pop music, including hits by BTS, in response to North Korea's continued deployment of filth balloons filled with trash and manure. This tit-for-tat exchange has seen North Korea sending over 1,000 balloons, while South Korea has countered with high-tech balloon warfare and loudspeaker propaganda. The situation further intensified when North Korean soldiers crossed the border on June 9, prompting warning shots from South Korean forces. Seoul has stated that the intrusion seems unintentional. Kim Jong-un's sister has warned of a 'new counteraction' against South Korea, highlighting the ongoing strife between the two nations.
North and South Korea are once again embroiled in Cold War-style campaigns involving balloon launches and propaganda broadcasts along the DMZ. https://t.co/E3nzwE6cwc https://t.co/WVRyEbcXNh
