Mayors representing cities along South Korea's border with North Korea on Friday urged Seoul to take "strong measures" to stop and punish activists attempting to send anti-regime leaflets to the North.
The move follows a high-level statement from Pyongyang on Thursday threatening to withdraw from symbolic inter-Korean projects unless the "anti-DPRK" activities were stopped.
