North Korea has sent a belligerent message to the South regarding psychological warfare.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said North Korea sent a message via an inter-Korean military hotline on Sunday morning. The message warned that if South Korea’s psychological warfare continued, it would fire aimed shots at relevant South Korean facilities. It was sent under the name of North Korea’s top representative to high-level inter-Korean military talks.

It said the recent sending of anti-North Korea leaflets is a traitorous act that goes against the Korean people, who are attempting to open a new situation with full-scale dialogue and negotiations.

North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency promptly reported on this message on Sunday morning.
