South Korea has begun dismantling loudspeakers along its border with North Korea. These speakers, used by the previous administration to broadcast news and music into North Korea, were deemed a source of tension by Pyongyang. The move, initiated by President Lee Jae Myung, aims to ease tensions, although North Korea remains unconvinced and has rejected any dialogue with the South. The South Korean military insists this action will not compromise its readiness.
