North Korea blasts sirens and drumming sounds across border on Christmas

Speakers reportedly stopped for week after ROK martial law crisis, but both Koreas have resumed sonic battle

North Korea blasted a cacophony of sirens and drumming sounds toward South Korean border areas on Christmas day, while ROK loudspeakers and radio programs broadcast news toward the North about DPRK soldiers dying for Russia.

NK News listened in on the sonic battle ongoing around lunchtime on Wednesday from the Paju area, just across the border from North Korea, revealing that propaganda warfare between the two sides has continued even after Yoon Suk-yeol’s declaration of martial law triggered a political crisis in the South earlier this month.
