Recent activities at the heavily fortified border between North and South Korea have reignited tensions between the two nations. South Korea has resumed broadcasting propaganda through loudspeakers for the first time in six years, featuring K-pop music and news critical of North Korea. This move was in response to North Korea's balloon launches that deposited trash into South Korean territory.
North Korea, in turn, launched balloons carrying items like manure and cigarette butts in retaliation against South Korean activists flying political leaflets across the border. Both countries view these actions as provocations, with North Korea banning foreign news to most of its population.
