Ask what Korea is talking about.

On October 22, 2026, South Korea's unification ministry urged North Korea to stop border escalation acts and return to dialogue after Pyongyang threatened to resume loudspeaker broadcasts, warning that such actions increase the risk of accidental clashes (Yonhap, KBS World). The government said it would take a 'proportionate measure' if the broadcasts resume, without detailing specifics (Korea Times). The main opposition People Power Party separately renewed calls for Seoul to resume its own loudspeaker broadcasts in response to recent DMZ mine blasts (Korea Times). Korean media reports focus on the government's cautious stance, urging de-escalation, while political reactions highlight domestic pressure for a firmer response.
