South Korea is keeping a close eye on the North Korean army activities on Pyongyang's plan to send propaganda leaflets across the border while leaving open all response options, including military action, as per Yonhap news agency. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), earlier in the day, had claimed that North Korea reportedly printed 12 million leaflets in intentions to distribute them in South Korea as part of their information campaign against Seoul. Allegedly, this is in retaliation to Seoul's failure to stop defectors from sending anti-Pyongyang leaflets. "We are closely monitoring moves by the North Korean military regarding the leafleting round-the-clock. Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo, while at the parliamentary committee meeting, claimed that the authorities were keeping a close eye on North Korea's related movements, and any possible military reaction to the leafleting "would depend on what methods North Korea will use and how it acts."
