North Korea Sends Trash Balloons Over South Korea
TL;DR Summary
North Korea has launched hundreds of balloons filled with trash into South Korea as a provocative act in response to South Korean activists' leafleting campaigns. This move aims to create public discomfort in South Korea and pressure its government to change its hardline policy on North Korea. While the trash poses no immediate danger, the act is part of a broader strategy to influence South Korean politics and potentially the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
