North Korea fired back at South Korea on Monday, launching its own propaganda campaign through loudspeakers across the border of the two countries. The move by the North comes as a response to the South's propaganda campaign, which the capitalist country initiated after it accused Pyongyang of planting a mine in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that maimed two South Korean soldiers, according to Fox News.
The propaganda broadcasts of the two Koreas evenly matched each other, as the North blared criticisms of the South while praising its own government, and the South criticizing Pyongyang and praising Seoul.
A South Korean defense ministry official, who has opted to remain anonymous, has confirmed the North's propaganda broadcasts, reports Reuters.
"We understand that the North Korean military has resumed anti-South Korean propaganda broadcasts via loudspeakers at some eastern parts of our border," the official said.
With the resumption of inter-Korean propaganda warfare between the two Koreas, tensions have reached new heights, especially since the North has expressly condemned the South's participation in military exercises with the United States military, which the communist state has dubbed as a rehearsal for invasion.
The South, however, has expressly stated that the military drills with the U.S. military are completely defensive by nature.
North Korea has remained as one of the most reclusive states in the world, with a current regime that has proven itself to be ruthless and dangerous, as previously reported by HNGN.
