North Korea on Saturday sent a new round of trash-laden balloons towards the South, Seoul's military said, after anti-Pyongyang activists in the South said they had lofted balloons with leaflets against leader Kim Jong Un across the border.
This handout photo taken by the South Korea n Defence Ministry between the night of June 1 and 2, 2024 and released on June 2, 2024 shows South Korea n military officers check unidentified objects believed to be North Korea n trash from balloons that crossed the inter-Korea border, on a street in Seoul. North Korea again sent trash-carrying balloons into the South on June 1, the South Korea n military said, a day after Seoul warned of countermeasures against such activity.
North Korea sent hundreds of balloons in two waves last week with bags of trash into the South, describing them as retaliation for anti-Pyongyang propaganda balloons sent the other way. Last year, South Korea's Constitutional Court struck down a 2020 law that criminalised the sending of anti-Pyongyang propaganda, calling it an undue limitation on free speech.
In response, South Korea completely suspended a 2018 military deal with the North, which was meant to reduce tensions between the neighbours. Kuensaem, another South Korean activist group, told AFP that it threw 500 plastic bottles into the sea on Friday near the border with North Korea.
