Meanwhile, South Korea's Ministry of Defense said on Tuesday that it sees indications that Pyongyang has started dismantling loudspeakers used for propaganda along the border. Seoul also started removing loudspeakers at 2 p.m. local time, according to the ministry.

On Friday, a summit between Kim and Moon was held in the truce village of Panmunjom inside the demilitarized zone that separates the South and the North. During the meeting, Kim and Moon signed a joint declaration, agreeing to take measures to support international efforts aimed at denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and proceed with reunion programs for the separated Korean families.

Another landmark summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump is set to take place in late May or early June.
