Pyongyang's move follows Seoul removing propaganda loudspeakers installed along border
South Korea on Saturday reported that North Korea started to dismantle its propaganda loudspeakers in a move indicating ease in tensions with Seoul.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that removal is taking place in parts of the front-line area and that it cannot be verified right now whether the removal will take place in all border areas, according to the Seoul-based Yonhap News.
North Korea's move followed the South Korean military removing propaganda loudspeakers installed along the border, in a move aimed at reducing inter-Korean tensions earlier this week.
Nearly two months ago, South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung ordered the suspension of loudspeaker broadcasts in front-line areas as part of efforts to improve ties with North Korea.
After that, Pyongyang also reciprocally stopped its broadcasts in return.
