South Korea responds to North Korea's ”filthy balloon” release with loudspeaker announcement

The South Korean military announced that it responded to North Korea's "filthy balloon" scattering with a loudspeaker broadcast to North Korea. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said on the 19th, "The South Korean military responded to North Korea's continued scattering of filthy balloons.
"As we have repeatedly issued stern warnings, we responded by broadcasting over loudspeakers to the areas where the dirty balloons were sent from yesterday evening until the early hours of this morning," he said.
"The response will depend entirely on North Korea's actions," he said. North Korea released its eighth dirty balloon this year the day before. The last time was about three weeks ago. This marks the seventh time this year alone.
In two talks on the 14th and 16th, Kim Yo-jong, vice director of the Workers' Party, said that pro-North Korea leaflets sent by a South Korean private organization had been found in North Korea.
Prior to this, the South Korean military announced on the 9th that it had launched a military offensive against North Korea, as it had previously teased on the 8th that North Korea would release a third round of dirty balloons.
Loudspeaker broadcasting has resumed. Loudspeaker broadcasting is one of North Korea's most feared psychological warfare tactics.
