S. Korea's military issues highest alert in areas with propaganda loudspeakers

South Korea's military has issued the highest alert in frontline areas, where propaganda loudspeakers are installed, a day before its planned resumption of the broadcasting across the border toward the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Yonhap news agency reported Thursday citing the defense ministry.

A defense ministry official was quoted as saying that troops in around 10 locations, installed with the propaganda loudspeakers, had been put on the highest alert, and that much more surveillance assets had been deployed near the locations.

The issuance of the highest defense readiness came as the country announced its plan to resume the propaganda broadcasting through loudspeakers from Friday noon in protest against the DPRK's fourth nuclear test Wednesday.
