North Korea's Kim Yo Jong says loudspeaker broadcasts toward Seoul being considered, KCNA reports
Kim Yo Jong says Pyongyang is weighing renewed psychological warfare and more tactical strike means after accusing Seoul of repeated border provocations.
- On Monday, North Korea's Kim Yo Jong announced the country is considering resuming loudspeaker broadcasts toward South Korea, describing the inter-Korean border as "very unstable."
- Kim accused the South Korean military of firing at North Korean troops and transmitting warnings over loudspeakers, characterizing these actions as "escalating" military provocations along the border.
- In a statement issued through the Korean Central News Agency, Kim said military leadership is reviewing the deployment of "additional tactical weapons" and "tactical strike" assets along the border.
- After a six-year pause, the technique resumed in June 2024; Seoul previously claimed the broadcasts could be heard as much as six miles across the border.
- On Thursday, the test-firing of Zam-2, a "super-speed, precisely guided" system, heralded a "significant" change in Pyongyang's naval capabilities following more than 180 evaluations over five years.
