North Korea has sent sound balloons to South Korea. Recently, residents of a border village were woken up by loud noises. Pyongyang is broadcasting strange and terrifying sounds from balloons there. That word has created panic in the public mind. Dissatisfaction has also appeared. In a report on Sunday (November 17), the American newspaper The Straits Times reported this news.
It is reported that some of the residents described the night events as, suddenly at night, they heard the howling of wolves, the sound of metal grinding together, or the screams of ghosts. It's like a horror movie.
Others said they heard the sound of incoming cannon fire. To some, it felt like an angry monkey thrashing about a broken piano.
Although they heard different sounds at different times, residents of this South Korean village bordering North Korea called it a 'sound bombardment'.
'It's driving us crazy,' said Miss Ann Mi-hee, 37. The sound is so loud that 'you can't sleep at night.'
Since July, North Korea has been releasing loudspeaker balloons 10 to 24 hours a day along the border with South Korea. The country has been broadcasting terrifying sounds, which has excited South Korean villagers. There have been no such past broadcasts from North.
The attack is most grotesque and intolerable. It is the result of deteriorating inter-Korean relations, which have sunk to their lowest level in years under North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.
