SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea on Thursday briefly resumed loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts aimed at North Korea, the same day Pyongyang sent another wave of trash-laden balloons across the border, according to the country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The broadcasts started Thursday night and stopped the next morning, the Joint Chiefs said in a statement to news reporters early Friday.

“The South Korean military’s future response depends entirely on North Korea’s actions,” the statement said.
