South Korea Resumes Its Propaganda Broadcasts Against North Korea

CNN: South Korea reactivates propaganda speakers as tensions with North rise

Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN)Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have once again ratcheted up as South Korea responds to its northern neighbor's latest antagonism.

The South reactivated its propaganda speakers near its heavily fortified border with North Korea on Friday following Pyongyang's announcement about its purported H-bomb test earlier in the week.

Seoul announced that, as of midday Friday local time (10 p.m. Thursday evening ET), it has resumed broadcasting propaganda using loudspeakers over the demilitarized zone, the heavily guarded buffer between the two Koreas.

WNU Editor: I was told that these broadcasts are really not that loud ... and more of a nuisance .... even on the South Korean side.
