South Korea announced today the resumption of its propaganda broadcasts directed at North Korea, in response to the latter’s resumption of launching garbage balloons to its southern neighbor.
The South Korean presidency confirmed in a statement that the country will install loudspeakers towards North Korea and begin broadcasting propaganda materials and indicated that the North bears full responsibility for escalating tensions between the two Koreas.
The presidency added that the measures taken may be difficult for the North Korean regime to bear, but they aim to send messages of awareness and hope to the North Korean military and citizens.
The South Korean National Security Council held a meeting after hundreds of balloons loaded with garbage were found in the capital, Seoul, and areas near the border last night and early Sunday morning.
The South Korean army announced that the North launched about 330 balloons loaded with garbage starting yesterday, Saturday, and about 80 of them landed in South Korea, and the South Korean General Staff stated that analysis of the balloons showed that they did not contain dangerous materials.
South Korea warned that it will take intolerable measures against North Korea if it continues to send garbage balloons.
It was stated that these measures may include launching a propaganda broadcast via loudspeakers installed on the border and directed towards the north.
Pyongyang said it was sending the balloons in response to anti-Pyongyang leaflets launched by South Korean activists as part of a propaganda campaign. She explained that she had launched hundreds of garbage balloons since late May.
North Korea announced on June 2 that it would temporarily stop sending balloons because the 15 tons of garbage it sent might be enough to send the message about how disturbed it is and pledged to resume sending them in quantities hundreds of times larger if the South sent leaflets again.
In recent weeks, activists in South Korea have launched dozens of balloons into the North carrying South Korean pop music, dollar bills and propaganda leaflets against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This angered Pyongyang, which responded by sending balloons filled with waste.
In late May and early June, Pyongyang sent thousands of balloons carrying cigarette butts and toilet paper across the border, before announcing a temporary halt to its campaign.
