NKorea rains propaganda leaflets on South

SEOUL: North Korea has scattered nearly one million propaganda leaflets in South Korea over the past week, Seoul said Monday, in an escalating propaganda battle triggered by Pyongyang’s latest nuclear test.

The leaflets, floated across the border by helium balloons, are an apparent response to South Korea’s decision to blast a mix of K-pop and propaganda messages into North Korea using giant banks of speakers on the heavily militarized border.
