Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's defense ministry on Oct. 23 formally proposed military talks with North Korea to confirm the location of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), restore military communication lines, and prevent accidental clashes, Yonhap and KBS World report. The proposal follows tensions that ramped up in September, and comes as Seoul warns it will take a "proportionate measure" if Pyongyang resumes loudspeaker broadcasts along the border, the Korea Times reports. Korean media frame the move as an effort to ease inter-Korean tensions and resolve the border location issue through dialogue.
