Mark. As you said, around 40 South Korean anti-North Korean regime loudspeakers set up along the demilitarized zone on the inter-Korean border will be dismantled, starting from this afternoon.
This morning,... a South Korean defense ministry official told Arirang News that military personnel are being trained on how to take apart the speakers,... before the military begins work to dismantle the loudspeakers from two in the afternoon.
This is part of efforts to implement the Panmunjom Declaration, in which the two sides agreed to stop all hostile acts from today,... May 1st,... including broadcasting messages through loudspeakers and distributing leaflets in the areas along the border.
The ministry assured the public though, that the military is maintaining its utmost readiness and preparedness, while doing its best to carry out the measures of Friday's historic agreement.
The defense ministry is also planning to let the media film the dismantling work for a few hours in the afternoon, so I will bring you updates in a later newscast.
Back to you. Mark.
