South Korea Halts Military Pact with North Korea Over Trash Balloons

South Korea plans to fully suspend a key 2018 military agreement with North Korea after Pyongyang sent balloons filled with trash across the border. The suspension, which follows a partial freeze last year, aims to address concerns over military readiness and allows for immediate measures if necessary. The move comes amid escalating tensions, with North Korea mocking South Korea's complaints and halting its balloon campaign, which it claimed was a response to South Korean activists' propaganda efforts.
