A year-long loudspeaker battle between North and South Korea has ended. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung ordered a halt to South Korea's propaganda broadcasts, prompting North Korea to reciprocate. This marks a shift from the previous administration's "peace through strength" policy. While the cessation is seen as a step towards de-escalation and trust-building, experts caution against assuming significant breakthroughs in inter-Korean relations, given North Korea's recent alliance with Russia and continued focus on military advancements.
