South Korea’s military has shut down loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda along the inter-Korean border. It's a move aimed at easing tensions.

North Korea appears to have stopped broadcasting loud noises towards the South, Seoul's military said Thursday, one day after South Korea halted its anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker campaign near the demilitarized zone.

Lee Jae-myung, the new president of South Korea, said he would stop the propaganda broadcasts by his predecessor that raised tensions with Seoul’s neighboring foe.
