North Korea launched 3,600 trash-carrying balloons towards South Korea since late May, causing disruptions at Incheon International Airport 12 times, with 265 minutes of runway shutdowns. These actions were retaliation for South Korean activists sending propaganda leaflets across the border. The balloons, carrying paper and plastic waste, were found in over 3,000 locations across South Korea, with the capital city Seoul affected in all 10 campaigns.
