South Korea lawmakers have sent propaganda leaflets over the border North Korea says it will fire across the border at South Korea, if Seoul continues to drop propaganda leaflets .
The South has been launching balloons, carrying leaflets about the recent democracy protests in Egypt and DVDs, over the heavily fortified border.
The South should "immediately stop psychological warfare," said the state KCNA news agency.
The warning comes a day before South Korea starts its annual military exercises with US forces.
"South Korea is driving the Korean peninsula to overall confrontation, with beefing up anti-republic, psychological plots," the North Korean statement went on.
South Korea has also been attaching food, clothes and radios to the balloons it sends over towards the North.
North Korea says the military exercise with US troops is a pretext for an invasion from the South, but Seoul insists it is purely defensive.
There are 28,500 US troops stationed in South Korea.
Inter-Korean relations have been extremely tense since 46 South Koreans died when their warship was sunk last March.
Seoul blamed the North for the incident, something Pyongyang denies.
Military talks aimed at defusing tensions and restarting dialogue broke down earlier this month.
