North Korea Appears to Stop Loudspeaker Broadcasts Toward the South
- On June 12, North Korea stopped broadcasting strange noises toward South Korea from areas near the border.
- This followed South Korea's suspension of its loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts a day earlier under new President Lee Jae-myung’s order to restore trust.
- The broadcasts, started in 2024 in response to North Korea’s trash-filled balloons, had escalated tensions with eerie sounds causing complaints from border residents on Ganghwa island.

- The halting of loudspeaker broadcasts signals a possible easing of military tensions and opens prospects for reviving inter-Korean dialogue, according to officials and analysts.
