North Korea has begun dismantling propaganda loudspeakers in certain sections along the border with South Korea, as detected by Seoul's military. This marks a reciprocal response after South Korea halted its own broadcasts. The dismantling started on Saturday morning, and the South Korean military will continue to monitor for further developments. The exact number of loudspeakers removed remains unclear, and North Korea has not confirmed these reports. Relations have shifted under President Lee Jae Myung, who reversed his predecessor's hard-line stance, indicating efforts to ease tensions.
South Korea's military reported that North Korean troops began dismantling their propaganda loudspeakers in border areas as a reciprocal gesture following South Korea's cessation of broadcasts.
