North Korean trash balloon drops leaflets calling South Korean president and his wife mentally unstable

A trash-filled balloon sent by North Korea fell on the presidential compound in Seoul and scattered leaflets deriding president Yoon Suk Yeol and first lady Kim Keon Hee, South Korean authorities said on Thursday.

South Korea‘s presidential security service said one of the balloons floated by North Korea burst over the presidential compound on Thursday morning, dropping rubbish. There were no dangerous items in it, but there were leaflets with graphic messages accusing the Yoon government of leaving South Koreans living in despair and describing the first couple as immoral and mentally unstable.
