South Korea has suspended a military radio broadcast that transmits to North Korea as part of measures aimed at easing tensions with Pyongyang, Seoul's Defence Ministry said on Sept 1.

SEOUL -

It is the first time that South Korea has stopped the radio broadcast in 15 years since it resumed after North Korea's sinking of a South Korean warship, according to media reports.

The radio broadcast, called Voice of Freedom, carries items such as news on the North's regime, South Korean economic development and K-pop. It has been used as one of Seoul's tools for psychological warfare against Pyongyang.
