Members of an organization representing the families of North Korean abductees look at a drone holding a poster denouncing the Kim Jong-un regime in Paju’s Imjingak area, Gyeonggi, on Thursday morning after canceling its plan to float anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the inter-Korean border.
The attempt to disperse anti-North leaflets across the inter-Korean border was thwarted by police and residents.
More than 800 police officers — both from the special judicial police force and the special task force — were on duty in border-adjacent areas to prevent attempts to float anti-Pyongyang flyers toward the North.
Around 100 residents living near the border also blocked the road with tractors, expressing their opposition to launching anti-North flyers. They have reportedly suffered from North Korea's loudspeaker broadcasts, which featured noises of barking dogs and metal scraping sounds.
