North Korea launches more trash balloons after ROK turns on border loudspeakers

Seoul responds by resuming ‘full-fledged’ propaganda broadcasts at inter-Korean border

North Korea launched more trash balloons toward South Korea on Sunday, after Seoul resumed propaganda broadcasts across the border days earlier.

The balloons were moving toward the northern part of Gyeonggi region following westerly winds, Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced in the morning, warning citizens of falling objects and urging them to avoid contact with balloons on the ground.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government also issued a public safety alert with similar instructions, stating that some DPRK “trash balloons” have already reached the South Korean capital and urging citizens to refrain from outdoor activities.
