South Korea restarts blasting propaganda broadcasts into North Korea

SOUTH KOREA said today that it has restarted propaganda broadcasts into North Korea to retaliate against the North’s latest round of rubbish-carrying balloon launches.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that it used loudspeakers to blare anti-Pyongyang broadcasts over the border between Thursday evening and this morning. 

The broadcasts were the first of their kind in about 40 days. The contents were not immediately known, but last month they reportedly included K-pop songs, weather forecasts and news on Samsung, the biggest South Korean company.
