South Korea has stopped broadcasting a propaganda radio program into North Korea, the defense ministry said on Monday, as part of wider efforts from Seoul to de-escalate tensions with Pyongyang.

The Ministry of National Defense told reporters it had “halted the ‘Voice of Freedom’ broadcast as part of efforts to ease inter-Korean military tensions,” according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
