South Korea on Monday, June 22, 2020 urged North Korea to scrap a plan to launch propaganda leaflets across the border, after the North said it’s ready to float more than 10 million leaflets in what would be the largest such physiological campaign against its southern rival.
Earlier Monday, North Korea said it had manufactured 12 million propaganda leaflets to be floated toward South Korea aboard 3,000 balloons and other unspecified delivery equipment. South Korean Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo told lawmakers Monday that how his military responds to potential North Korean leafleting depends on what delivery equipment the North would use.
