South Korea plans to resume broadcasting anti-North Korean messages via loudspeakers along the border, responding to Pyongyang's trash balloon campaign. North Korea retaliated against South Korean activists by sending balloons filled with garbage, prompting Seoul to revive the tactic abandoned in 2018. The broadcasts aim to convey "light and hope" to North Koreans but may provoke Kim Jong Un's regime. Experts warn of potential armed conflict, especially in the West Sea. Meanwhile, South Korea's legal crackdown on propaganda leaflets has not deterred activists, and tensions between the two Koreas are at a concerning level.
