North Korea leader's sister warns of new response against the South's loudspeakers, leaflets

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of the North Korean leader, warned of a new response against South Korea if the South kept on loudspeaker broadcasts and scattering leaflets amid simmering tensions, state media said on Sunday, June 9.

"If the ROK simultaneously carries out the leaflet scattering and loudspeaker broadcasting provocation over the border, it will undoubtedly witness the new counteraction of the DPRK," Kim Yo Jong said in a statement late on Sunday carried by state news agency KCNA

South Korea resumed loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea on Sunday, its military said, following through on a warning demanding that Pyongyang stop sending balloons carrying trash into the South.

The decision to resume the broadcasts, as a form of psychological warfare, was made after North Korea began launching on Saturday, June 8 about 330 balloons with trash attached, with about 80 of them dropping over the border, South Korea's military said.
