SEOUL, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- North Korea told South Korea Sunday to quit sending propaganda flyers into the Communist country or it will open fire on South Korean facilities.
"The on-going psychological warfare by the puppet military in the frontline area is a treacherous deed and a wanton challenge to the demand of the times ...," a North Korean military official told the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency.
"We officially notify that our army will stage a direct fire at the [Imjingak] Pavilion and other sources of the anti-DPRK psychological warfare to destroy them on the principle of self-defense, if such actions last despite our repeated warning."
DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Imjingak is a tourism pavilion near the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom from where South Korean activists frequently send anti-North Korea flyers and other materials.
The South Korean National Defense Ministry recently acknowledged the South's military has been sending propaganda leaflets in balloons to North Korea, mixing them with basic supplies. The leaflets warned the North Korean regime about the consequences of repressive rule.
