North Korea launched 160 trash balloons towards South Korea amid escalating tensions over propaganda leaflets.

North Korea launched over 160 trash balloons filled with household waste towards South Korea, marking a continuation of escalating tensions between the two nations. This action is reportedly in retaliation for South Korean activists sending anti-North Korean propaganda leaflets across the border. The situation has intensified since May, with North Korea employing similar tactics alongside missile launches, prompting warnings from South Korea.
