SEOUL, June 11 (AP) — In a significant gesture to reduce tensions, South Korea's military has deactivated the loudspeakers that were broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda across the inter-Korean border. The loudspeaker operations had been resumed last June after a lengthy hiatus, as a countermeasure against North Korea's psychological warfare, which involved launching balloons filled with trash across the border into the South.
