South Korea has halted its propaganda broadcasts into North Korea, as part of the agreement between the two countries to defuse tension.
Landmine blasts, loudspeakers blaring propaganda, an exchange of artillery fire and threats of more hostilities had put both sides on edge along the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), the world’s most heavily fortified border.
But after marathon talks between high-level officials, the two bitter foes said in the early hours of Tuesday that they had found enough common ground to dial back the situation.
