The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) military on Wednesday urged South Korea to halt psychological warfare immediately, the official news agency KCNA reported.

"The Korean People's Army (KPA) always keeps itself fully ready to target and destroy those bases used for anti-DPRK psychological warfare, not only in the western sector of the front but in all areas along the front," a commander told the KCNA in an interview.

Some South Korean activist groups were reported to have attempted to scatter leaflets critical of the DPRK regime over the border.

According to the KCNA, the South Korean military brought "conservative organizations" to Paekryong Island where they launched balloons containing hundreds of thousands of anti-DPRK leaflets and one-dollar notes across the border on Friday and Saturday.

The commander also warned that, if South Korea did not want to learn another lesson as taught by the Yeonpyeong Island shelling, they should "immediately stop all the psychological warfare, including the leaflet-scattering operations and behave with discretion."
