North Korea has escalated tensions with South Korea by blasting unsettling noises, dubbed "noise bombing," across the border near the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). Residents of Dangsan, a South Korean village, report relentless sounds such as metallic crashes and eerie screams, causing insomnia, stress, and headaches. This psychological assault replaces North Korea’s traditional propaganda broadcasts, intensifying since July. The move follows retaliatory actions against anti-Kim leaflets and South Korea’s resumed loudspeaker broadcasts. Villagers, largely elderly, feel abandoned as officials offer minimal relief. Experts believe the strategy aims to disrupt South Korea's broadcasts, heightening the political standoff between the two Koreas.
