In a significant development, South Korea's military reported Saturday that North Korea has begun dismantling some loudspeakers positioned along the border that are aimed at the South.

These loudspeakers, traditionally used for broadcasting propaganda messages, might be coming down in an apparent move towards reducing tensions.

However, South Korean officials stated that more data is needed to determine if this dismantling is taking place uniformly across all border segments. Monitoring activities will remain active to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
