Ask what Korea is talking about.

North Korea appears to have conducted a test broadcast of its propaganda loudspeakers along the inter-Korean border on Thursday, Oct. 29, according to Yonhap and Korea Times. The test comes a week after Kim Yo-jong warned of 'new response measures' and said loudspeakers would be on standby. Yonhap, citing a resident of Daeseong-dong (Freedom Village), reported the test. South Korea's unification ministry has urged the North to stop border escalation acts, and Seoul said it would take a 'proportionate measure' if the North resumes loudspeaker operations. The same day, the North also fired about a dozen short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea, which the military saw as a rebuff to Seoul's dialogue offer.
