According to a Daily NK source in South Pyongan province, security departments across the country received a directive on Oct. 20 titled “Let’s Thoroughly Crush the Enemy’s Propaganda Operations.”<\/p>\n

The document, obtained by Daily NK, condemns what it calls “an unforgivable provocation” by “South Korean puppets” who allegedly flew drones over Pyongyang on Oct. 3, 9, and 10 during nighttime hours to drop propaganda materials.<\/p>\n

Throughout the document, anti-North Korean leaflets are consistently referred to as “political propaganda trash,” with calls for “everyone to unite in the struggle to crush the enemy’s leaflet operations.”<\/p>\n
