North Korea has announced that it will temporarily halt the sending of trash balloons to South Korea. These balloons, which have been a source of tension between the two countries, have been used to deliver various waste materials across the border.
Over the past week, hundreds of these balloons have crossed into South Korea, carrying items such as dirt, paper, and cigarette butts. This unconventional method of waste disposal was reportedly a form of retaliation by North Korea against South Korean activists who frequently send packages across the border.
