North Korea resumed its cryptic broadcasts for sleeper agents in South Korea on Friday.

It was the first such broadcast since the North halted the program after the first inter-Korean summit in 2000.

"We will now broadcast the math homework review section for 27th trainee for remote education college," said a female broadcaster after the official broadcast from Pyongyang Broadcasting Station ended at 12:45 a.m.

She went on, saying "Page 459 No. 35, page 913 No. 55, page 135 No. 86."

The broadcast continued the series of five numbers repeatedly for 12 minutes. It is believed to be a code for operatives in the South.

"This is the same MO that the North used before it halted the broadcast after the 2000 inter-Korean summit," said an expert on North Korea.
