North Korea appears to have stopped broadcasting loud noises towards the South, Seoul's military said Thursday, one day after South Korea halted its anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker campaign near the demilitarized zone.

Lee Jae-myung, the new president of South Korea, said he would stop the propaganda broadcasts by his predecessor that raised tensions with Seoul’s neighboring foe.

South Korea’s military has shut down loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda along the inter-Korean border. It's a move aimed at easing tensions.
