North Korea floats 20 trash balloons toward South amid drone tensions

Launch is first since two Koreas traded military threats over alleged ROK drone incursion

North Korea floated trash balloons toward the South on Saturday evening, the first launch since Seoul warned that any DPRK action that “inflicts harm” on South Koreans will “spell the end of the regime.”

Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced on Saturday that it had detected the launch of “suspected garbage balloons.”
