North Korea Suspends Balloon Launches, Says South Has ‘Enough Experience’

North Korea has announced it will halt its campaign of sending trash-carrying balloons into South Korea, claiming the South Koreans have had “enough experience of how much unpleasant they feel.” This announcement comes hours after South Korea vowed to retaliate with “unbearable” measures over the balloon activities and other provocations. South Korea is likely to resume loudspeaker broadcasts into North Korea, which includes criticism of its human rights situation, world news, and K-pop songs. North Korea is highly sensitive to such broadcasts due to its citizens’ limited access to outside information.
