The Republic of Korea (ROK)'s military on Monday began dismantling propaganda loudspeakers installed along the border with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), ROK's defense ministry said.

The ministry said in a statement that it was a practical measure taken to help ease tensions between the two sides without any influence on the military's readiness posture.

The anti-DPRK loudspeaker broadcasts were suspended on June 11 to restore trust in inter-Korean relations and peace on the Korean Peninsula, said the ministry.

The government, led by former President Yoon Suk-yeol, resumed loudspeaker broadcasts to the DPRK in June 2024.
