South Korea says North has again launched trash-carrying balloons across the border
North Korea is flying more trash-carrying balloons toward the South, officials said on Sept. 4, 2024, in the latest round of Cold War-style psychological warfare between the rivals. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected balloons launched from North Korea following launches the previous evening. It said the North again floated balloons the next evening. Since May, North Korea has flown thousands of balloons toward South Korea to drop substances such as wastepaper, cloth scraps, cigarette butts and even manure, in what it described as retaliation against South Korean civilian activists who fly anti-North Korean propaganda leaflets across the border.
