South Korea Silences Border Loudspeakers Amid North Korea Tensions
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

South Korea’s military confirmed the shutdown of all DMZ loudspeakers Tuesday following Pyongyang’s recent suspension of trash-filled balloon launches. The decision marks the first cessation of cross-border psychological operations since June’s resumption of the controversial broadcasts, which had played K-pop songs and news critical of Kim Jong Un’s regime.

Calculated De-escalation or Temporary Pause?

Defense Minister Shin Won-sik framed the move as “creating space for dialogue,” though analysts note the speakers can be reactivated within hours.

The broadcasts had run 6-8 hours daily since June 9, when Seoul resumed them in response to North Korea’s GPS-jamming attacks near border islands. Satellite imagery suggests Pyongyang has simultaneously reduced frontline troop deployments.

The loudspeaker silence comes after Kim Jong Un’s regime sent over 1,000 balloons carrying toilet paper, trash and propaganda leaflets southward last week – a bizarre countermeasure to the audio broadcasts. While causing minimal damage, the campaign forced Seoul to issue rare civil alerts and deploy explosive disposal teams across border regions.

The loudspeakers date to the Korean War’s psychological operations, with modern iterations capable of transmitting 20km into North Korean territory. Their periodic activation (2015-2018, 2022, 2024) consistently triggers Pyongyang’s ire, with the regime threatening artillery strikes against broadcast sites during past escalations.

As both sides pull back from brinkmanship, attention shifts to whether this creates openings for stalled diplomatic channels. However, with South Korea maintaining its guard post surveillance and North Korea continuing nuclear preparations, experts warn the detente may prove fleeting.
