N Korea warns South about psyops

North Korea has harshly criticized what it calls Seoul's propaganda war against Pyongyang and threatened to prevent South Koreans from crossing its border.

South Korean activists have floated anti-Pyongyang leaflets into the North by balloon over the past few years. The activists now say they have also started sending DVDs disclosing secrets about the private life of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.

On Saturday, the North Korean military called the move a "foolish act" and a "wanton violation and blatant challenge" to a 2004 agreement to halt all propaganda activities signed by the two countries' armed forces.

The military has "repeatedly and strongly" urged Seoul to discontinue the anti-North Korea campaign, it said in a notice sent to the South's military published by North Korean state-run Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea also threatened to promptly respond with corresponding decisive measures "unless the South side takes an understandable measure for discontinuing the despicable psychological smear campaign."

The North Korean army said it would also reconsider whether to continue to provide a military guarantee for the passage of personnel through the buffer zone dividing the two Koreas.

South Korea responded by saying it had "sincerely" abided by the 2004 agreement and expressed hope that "the issue does not cause a hitch in the development of inter-Korean relations."
