North Korea Air-Drops Trash Balloons on South Korea

TL;DR Summary
North Korea has launched an unusual offensive by sending 260 balloons filled with garbage, including cigarette butts and plastic bottles, across the border into South Korea. This act, which South Korea condemned as a violation of international law, prompted the South Korean military to issue warnings and deploy response squads to inspect the debris. The move follows North Korea's accusations against defectors in South Korea for scattering leaflets and other items over the border.
