North Korea accused of dropping trash and excrement on South Korea via balloons

ai generated text

North Korea has been accused of sending hundreds of balloons carrying trash across the border into South Korea, with reports suggesting that around 260 balloons were launched from Tuesday to Wednesday. The move is seen as a form of retaliation by North Korea against the use of similar balloons by South Korea in the past. According to experts, the balloon campaign is intended to create divisions within South Korean society over its conservative government's hardline stance on North Korea.
