North Korea has once again stirred tensions by flying balloons filled with trash and filth over the border into South Korea. This act, which North Korea is calling a form of freedom of expression and retaliation, has raised concerns about potential threats to South Korea's security.
The balloons, numbering over 260, were released by North Korea in response to South Korean activists sending balloons carrying leaflets condemning Kim Jong-un's government into North Korea. Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of the North Korean leader, defended the balloon launch as a legitimate expression of freedom, criticizing South Korea for its leaflet distribution.
