North Korea Launches 600 More Trash Balloons into South Korea
TL;DR Summary
North Korea has announced it will temporarily stop sending trash-filled balloons over the border to South Korea, after Seoul reported hundreds more airborne waste deliveries. This act was in response to South Korea's practice of sending anti-North Korea leaflets via balloons. South Korea has threatened "unendurable measures" in retaliation, including possibly resuming loudspeaker propaganda. The trash balloons, some containing used toilet paper, have been found as far as 300 kilometers south of Seoul. The two countries remain technically at war since the Korean War armistice in 1953.
