Trash from at least one North Korean balloon hit the South Korean presidential compound in Seoul on Wednesday in what is the first time the fortified no-fly zone has been directly struck by a Pyongyang trash balloon, of which thousands have been launched since May. The balloons are part of a long-standing propaganda conflict between the two countries that has escalated in recent months.
Trash-carrying balloons sent by North Korea hit the South Korean presidential compound Wednesday, security officials told AFP, prompting Seoul to mobilise chemical response teams in the escalating tit-for-tat propaganda war.
