Trash carried by a North Korean balloon fell on the presidential compound in central Seoul for the second time, raising concerns about the vulnerability of key South Korean sites. The incident occurred amidst escalating threats and rhetoric between the rival Koreas over North Korea's claims of South Korea flying drones over Pyongyang to distribute propaganda leaflets.
No hazardous items were found in the rubbish dropped on the ground when a North Korean balloon burst over the South Korean presidential compound. North Korea has been sending balloons carrying plastic and paper waste into South Korea since late May as part of a psychological campaign. The trash that landed on the compound contained no dangerous materials.
