North Korea turned off border loudspeakers broadcasting noise toward South Korea on Thursday, according to the ROK military, a day after President Lee Jae-myung ordered the suspension of the South’s own propaganda broadcasts.

“There have been no reports of North Korean loudspeaker noise broadcasts heard today,” the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced on Thursday, adding that it is closely monitoring North Korean activities.

South Korea stopped its loudspeaker broadcasts at 2 p.m. the previous day under a presidential directive aimed at “restoring trust in inter-Korean relations and establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula.”
