SOUTH KOREA today resumed anti-North Korean propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts in border areas in retaliation to the North sending more than 1,000 balloons filled with rubbish and manure over the last couple of weeks.

Following an emergency security meeting led by South Korean national security director Chang Ho Jin on Sunday, officials decided to install and resume the loudspeaker broadcasts, Seoul’s presidential office said in a statement.

Mr Chang and other South Korean security officials slammed Pyongyang for attempting to cause “anxiety and disruption” in South Korea and stressed that North Korea would be “solely responsible” for any future escalation of tensions between the Koreas.
