Accra: South removes loudspeakers from border as part of efforts to ease tensions with North Korea, Seoul announced on August 4 the removal of loudspeakers along the border. These speakers had been used to broadcast propaganda, including K-pop music and news bulletins.

According to France24.com, the decision to remove these loudspeakers marks a significant step in reducing hostilities between the two nations. The broadcasts, which included a mix of music and news, were a longstanding tactic used by South Korea to influence and communicate with North Koreans living near the border.
