North Korea recently launched another round of 'trash balloons' towards South Korea, as reported by local media. South Korea's Yonhap News Agency revealed that over 160 balloons filled with trash were sent across the border by North Korea. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirmed the discovery of numerous 'trash bundles' containing items like paper, plastic bottles, and household garbage in parts of Gyeonggi Province near Seoul.
Earlier this month, the JCS disclosed that approximately 420 balloons were detected, allegedly launched by North Korea into South Korea. This exchange of trash bundles is part of the ongoing tit-for-tat actions between the two Koreas, reminiscent of Cold War tactics. North Korea has been sending thousands of balloons towards the South, carrying items such as wastepaper, cloth scraps, cigarette butts, and even manure.
