Amid Escalating Tensions, North Korea Withdraws Troops from Border but No Unusual Movements Occur

The North Korean army has withdrawn its troops from the border, but no unusual movements have been observed after warning shots were fired. The South Korean army is closely monitoring the situation and believes that the soldiers did not cross the border intentionally due to the dense forest and unclear demarcation line signs.

Tensions between North and South Korea continue to escalate. In response to anti-Pyongyang propaganda balloons sent by activists in the South, North Korea has been sending balloons filled with undesirable items across the border. This has led to a suspension of a military agreement by the South Korean government and a restart of propaganda broadcasts along the border, resulting in warnings from North Korea of a new crisis.

The South Korean military reported that North Korea is installing loudspeakers in a garden near the border. Historically, North Korea has used loudspeakers along the border to praise the Kim family. However, experts believe that canceling the 2018 deal and restarting loudspeaker broadcasts could have serious consequences. The situation between these two countries remains tense and unpredictable.
