[2nd Report] North Korea Dismantles Loudspeakers Facing South in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu Reporter]It has been confirmed that North Korea is dismantling the loudspeaker broadcasting facilities aimed at South Korea, which were reinstalled in the frontline area, just three days after installation.

On the 24th, a military official stated, "North Korea is dismantling about 10 loudspeakers aimed at South Korea that were reinstalled in some frontline areas near the Peace Observatory in Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do."

North Korea began reinstalling loudspeaker broadcasting facilities aimed at South Korea in the frontline area from the afternoon of the 21st. This work involved reinstalling loudspeaker facilities that had been dismantled following the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration after more than two years. It was expected that activities such as slander and propaganda through loudspeaker broadcasts would intensify around the DMZ, but suddenly, they have started dismantling them again.

This is presumed to be related to the order by Chairman Kim Jong-un on the 23rd to "suspend military actions against the South," which was reported by North Korean media on the morning of the same day.

Korean Central News Agency reported, "At the preliminary meeting held on the 23rd, the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea evaluated the recent situation and the General Staff of the Korean People's Army suspended the military action plans against the South that were submitted to the 7th Central Military Commission's 5th meeting."
