Pyongyang vows to resume loudspeaker warfare and deploy weapons after border mine crisis
North Korea has threatened to restart Cold War-era loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts and deploy additional tactical weapons along the border with South Korea. This escalation follows a dispute over September 21 mine blasts that injured three South Korean soldiers, which Pyongyang denied but Seoul blamed on North Korean mines. Kim Yo Jong accused Seoul of crossing a 'red line' with warning shots and broadcasts since August, framing the current border situation as a grave result of South Korean 'reckless behavior.'
