North Korea resumed balloon trash launches against South Korea amidst ongoing anti-Pyongyang leaflet retaliation.
North Korea has resumed launching balloons filled with trash into South Korea, with incidents reported on September 22 and September 18. This campaign, ongoing since May, is a retaliation against anti-Pyongyang leaflets sent by defectors and activists in the South. In response, South Korea has been broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda but has chosen not to shoot down the balloons due to safety concerns. One balloon recently landed near the Seoul government complex, prompting an emergency response.
