A civic group in the border area, "Military conflict is imminent...The government is raising the crisis.

Civic groups made up of North Korean border residents have voiced their opinions that the government is increasing the military crisis by neglecting North Korean defector groups and others to disperse leaflets to the North.

The Independent Alliance for Unification and Peace held a press conference in front of the Presidential Office in Yongsan this afternoon (15th) and said, "Please take stern measures against the spread of leaflets to North Korea."

They stressed that the government, which maintained an irresponsible attitude that it could not confirm North Korea's alleged invasion of drones, is further escalating the risk of collision.

He also emphasized that balloons with leaflets to North Korea lead to filth balloons in South Korea and that loudspeakers with South Korea operate each other, increasing anxiety and damage to residents in the border area.

North Korea, which has declared that it will completely sever inter-Korean relations, blew up some of the East Sea and Gyeongui lines connecting the two Koreas today, and the South Korean military fired back at areas south of the military demarcation line.
