North Korea Escalates Trash Balloon Campaign Against South Korea

North Korea has launched a new wave of trash-filled balloons towards South Korea in retaliation for anti-North Korean leaflets sent by South Korean activists. South Korea's military has found about 90 balloons in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, advising the public to report but not touch the objects. This action follows a series of provocative steps by North Korea, including missile launches and a failed spy satellite attempt. The South Korean military has opted not to shoot down the balloons to avoid escalating tensions.
