North Korea has been broadcasting unbearable sounds for months close to its border with the South, in their latest wave of psychological warfare.

A North Korea n loudspeaker, top left, a military guard post, top right, and a South Korea n military guard post, bottom, are seen from Paju, South Korea , near the border with North Korea , Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024. Every day since July last year, loudspeakers on the other side of the inter-Korean border have been blaring haunting noises or loud crackly ones, like a gong being beaten or metal grinding. Other sounds include screaming, dogs howling and gunshots.

Now, with Donald Trump’s return to the White House just days away, they are hoping the incoming United States president can help them. This latest wave of psychological warfare drove Dangsan-ri resident An Mi-hee to fall to her knees in parliament last October, begging for a solution.Her mother and fellow resident Kim Ok-soon told CNA that her two grandchildren are unable to sleep through the nights and often get startled awake. One child is in first grade, while the other is in third grade.

“They broadcast to stress out the people here. When I was younger, bullets used to fly here … But we never felt this troubled mentally.”POSSIBLE THAT TRUMP, KIM WILL MEET AGAIN
