South Korea has vowed to blast “unbearable” noise at North Korea for the first time since 2018 after Pyongyang sent more sewage-filled balloons over the border.<\/p>\n

Seoul’s national security council said on Sunday it will restart loudspeaker broadcasts of anti-North Korean propaganda after 330 balloons dropped 15 tonnes of rubbish in South Korea throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n

Three waves of sewage-filled balloons<\/a>, <\/strong>filled with manure, cigarette butts, scraps of cloth, batteries and wastepaper, have been sent into the south since May.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s<\/strong><\/a> security council said: “The measures we will take may be unbearable for the North Korean regime, but they will send a message of hope and light to the North’s troops and its people.”<\/p>\n

National security director Chang Ho-jin and other officials added that North Korea<\/strong><\/a> is trying to create “anxiety and disruption” in the south and is “solely responsible” for any escalation of tensions.<\/p>\n

South Korea stopped its loudspeaker broadcasts in 2018 during a brief period of diplomacy with Pyongyang, when the countries signed an agreement to ease tensions.<\/p>\n

When they last were active, the broadcasts played K-pop songs, weather reports and attacks on North Korea’s leadership.<\/p>\n

Coming from multiple speakers stacked in large racks, South Korea’s military also claims the sound can travel more than 12.4 miles into North Korea.<\/p>\n

South Korea suspended the six-year peace agreement on 4 June in the wake of North Korea’s sewage balloon campaign, clearing the way for Seoul to resume broadcasts and also restart live-fire drills near the border.<\/p>\n

North Korea has said the operation was in response to South Korean activists sending leaflets and propaganda over the demilitarized zone.<\/p>\n

After sending its second wave of balloons at the start of June<\/strong><\/a>, North Korea said it would stop its “unpleasant” campaign but warned it would carry on if more leaflets were dropped.<\/p>\n

South Koreans defied the warning and continued to fly over material criticising Kim Jong Un, as well as USB sticks containing K-pop videos and dramas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
