South Korea’s military has shut down loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda along the inter-Korean border. It's a move aimed at easing tensions.

North Korea appears to have stopped broadcasting loud noises towards the South, Seoul's military said Thursday, one day after South Korea halted its anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker campaign near the demilitarized zone.

For the first time in months, North Korea has stopped sending strange noises across the border into South Korea, according to South Korea’s military on Thursday. This comes just one day after South Korea decided to turn off its own loudspeaker broadcasts aimed at the North.
