North Korea launched 20 trash-filled balloons into South Korea, part of an ongoing response to anti-Pyongyang leaflets.
North Korea launched around 20 balloons filled with household trash into South Korea over the weekend, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff. About 10 of these were recovered in Cheorwon, with no hazardous materials found. This incident is part of a broader response, with North Korea having sent over 5,000 similar balloons since May, retaliating against anti-Pyongyang leaflets from activists and defectors in South Korea.
