North Korea prepares anti-South leaflets
North Korea is gearing up to send propaganda leaflets more than its southern border, denouncing North Korean defectors and South Korea, its condition media said about Saturday, the most recent retaliation for leaflets from the South as bilateral tensions go up.
Enraged North Korean people in the united states "are actively pushing ahead with the preparations for launching a large-scale distribution of leaflets," which are piled as high as a mountain, explained state current information agency KCNA.
"Every action ought to be met with proper reaction and only once one experiences it oneself, you can look and feel how offending it is," KCNA said.
North Korea has blamed North Korean defectors for launching leaflets across the border and threatened armed service actions. On Tuesday, Pyongyang blew up an inter-Korean liaison workplace to show its displeasure against the defectors and South Korea for not stopping them launching leaflets.
South Korea's unification ministry, which is responsible for inter-Korean dialogue, said on Saturday that North Korea's intend to send leaflets was "extremely regrettable," and urged it to scrap the program immediately.
A good North Korean defector-led group said about Friday it had scrapped a plan to send a huge selection of plastic bottles filled with rice, medicine and deal with masks to North Korea by throwing them into the sea nearby the border on Sunday. Both Koreas, which remain technically at battle as their 1950-53 conflict ended with out a peace treaty, have waged leaflet campaigns for many years.
South Korea's military used to launch anti-North flyers over the demilitarized zone, but the program ended this year 2010. Several defector-led teams have regularly sent back flyers, as well as food, $1 charges, mini radios and USB sticks made up of South Korean dramas and information, generally by balloon over the border or in bottles by river.
Pyongyang has used balloons to send its anti-South leaflets. South Koreans previously had been rewarded with stationery if indeed they reported leaflets from the North.
