•South Korea redeployed its gigantic loudspeakers along the border for the first time in six years, since 2018, and resumed anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts.
•The broadcasts reportedly included K-pop sensation BTS’s mega-hits like “Butter” and “Dynamite,” weather forecasts and news on Samsung, the biggest South Korean company, as well as outside criticism of the North’s missile program and its crackdown on foreign video.
•In response, North Korea has sent hundreds of trash-carrying balloons toward South Korea, Seoul’s military said.
•Kim Jong-un’s powerful sister slammed the Pyongyang activists’ leaflets as “psychological warfare” and warned that unless Seoul stopped them and called off the loudspeaker broadcasts, South Korea would “suffer a bitter embarrassment of picking up waste paper without rest and it will be its daily work”.
