North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has suspended plans for military action against the South, state media reported yesterday, in an apparent sudden dialling down of tensions after Pyongyang blew up a liaison office. In recent weeks, Pyongyang has issued a series of vitriolic condemnations of Seoul over anti-North leaflets, which defectors based in South Korea send across the border -- usually attached to balloons or floated in bottles. Last week, North Korea military said it would take multiple measures against the South including re-entering areas of the North that it had withdrawn from as part of inter-Korean projects, restoring guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone that forms the border, and stepping up exercises. The North also began removing loudspeakers yesterday from border areas, which they had started setting up just two days ago to broadcast anti-South propaganda.
