The following are some facts about the broadcasts as tensions once again heighten on the Korean peninsula.Up to 24 high-power speakers are stacked in large stationary racks as tall as 6 metres and 3 metres wide and positioned at different locations just south of the barbed wire fence marking the southern edge of the Demilitarized Zone border.South Korea's military operates the speaker system and the broadcasts.
