On Tuesday, Pyongyang blew up an inter-Korean liaison business office showing its displeasure against the defectors and South Korea for not really stopping them launching leaflets.

Both Koreas, which remain technically at war as their 1950-53 conflict ended with out a peace treaty, possess waged leaflet campaigns for decades.
