SEOUL, Nov. 26 (Yonhap) -- A local Christian group has called off its plan to light up Christmas towers near the tense border with North Korea, Seoul's defense ministry said Monday, in consideration of concerns among residents the moves could provoke the communist nation.
It had been an annual tradition for South Korea to light a Christmas tree on top of a hill called Aegibong near the western border with the North before it was suspended in 2003 under a reconciliation agreement with the communist rival to end border propaganda activity.
