South Korea recently identified 350 North Korean balloons suspected of carrying waste, sparking renewed tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The balloons were spotted flying in northern Gyeonggi Province, bordering Seoul, with about 100 landing in South Korean regions. Fortunately, no hazardous substances were found in the balloons that landed in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.
Following the incident, Seoul's Metropolitan government issued a notification urging citizens not to touch the balloons and report any sightings to authorities. The South Korean military warned of the possibility of resuming loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts at the border in response to North Korea's actions.
