North Korea resumed launching "trash balloons" into South Korea in retaliation for anti-Pyongyang leaflets.

North Korea has resumed launching "trash balloons" into South Korea, as reported by the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff. These balloons, filled with waste paper and other debris, are seen as retaliation against South Korean activists who send anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets. Seoul has issued alerts urging residents to stay indoors and report any fallen balloons. This ongoing exchange heightens tensions amid North Korea's nuclear ambitions and joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises.
