SEOUL, South Korea North Koreas printing shops have been working overtime to revive a favorite weapon of Cold War-era psychological warfare: sending millions of propaganda leaflets across the worlds most heavily armed border and scattering them over South Korea.
The tit-for-tat move was announced on Monday by the North, which has become incensed by the leaflets that defectors from the North have sent from the South to their Communist home country in recent months, the Norths official news agency said.
The pledge by the North to retaliate presents another threat to the fragile détente on the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea said it was preparing 3,000 balloons to carry the leaflets across the border, along with cigarette butts and other trash. The defectors have continued their propaganda efforts despite protests from Pyongyang and inter-Korean agreements to stop them.
