Seoul Urges North to Halt Border Escalation After Loudspeaker Threat

South Korea's unification ministry on Thursday called on North Korea to immediately stop acts that could increase the risk of clashes along the border, after Pyongyang warned of resuming loudspeaker broadcasts, Yonhap reports. The ministry also urged the North to halt violations of the Korean War Armistice Agreement near the Military Demarcation Line, according to KBS World. The warning follows Kim Yo-jong's threat of "new counter means" at the border, saying propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts against the South will be ready within days, the Korea Times reports. North Korean officials, including Kim Yo-jong and Pak Jong-chon, had earlier inspected border fortifications and warned of counterattacks, KBS World adds. Korean media coverage focuses on the official government response and the rising tension, with outlets like Hankyoreh noting the North's threat to reinforce units along the MDL.
