CROSS-BORDER propaganda warfare across the divided Korean peninsula resumed normal service yesterday when Pyongyang decided to match Seoul’s loudspeaker broadcast example.
The mutual propaganda attacks mark a further deterioration of relations between the two Korean states that have engaged in no serious talks in recent months.
The South blamed the North last week for landmine explosions that maimed two South Korean soldiers, resuming propaganda broadcasts for the first time in 11 years.
North Korea denied the accusations and threatened to launch strikes on South Korean loudspeakers, but it relented, beginning its own loudspeaker broadcasts yesterday on the eastern part of the border.
North and South ended the futile propaganda broadcasts in 2004 as part of their efforts to ease animosities.
