South Korea stopped radio broadcasts in the DPRK

It has become known that South Korea has stopped years of radio broadcasts to the DPRK.

A rare perennial source of truth for North Koreans has fallen silent. This is reported by Bloomberg.

The South Korean authorities confirmed that they suspended the broadcasts, which had been running since the 1970s.

During these years, they provided North Koreans with access to uncensored information.

It is reported that the authorities explained this decision by the desire not to aggravate inter-Korean relations.

Experts note that North Korea had previously actively jammed these signals – and this only emphasizes how dangerous they were considered for the regime.

The step was part of President Lee Jae-myung’s policy of softening the policy toward Pyongyang.
