According to the Joint Committee of the Chiefs of Staff in Seoul, Pyongyang launched hundreds of balloons with garbage from Saturday, which had to cross the border with North Korea and hit targets. As a result, only 80 of them were able to reach the country and the rest were lost on the road. Such DPRK air objects carried garbage, pieces of paper, as well as plastic residues.
South Korea residents have warned that the situation could be repeated in the near future and it is better not to touch the balls. From May 28, North Korea launched about 1000 such balloons with garbage. Pyongyang says it is a response to the actions of South Korean activists who send similar balls, but with another content - postcards with "Antiphonian propaganda". For the last time, such balls from Seoul flew on Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday the "answer" from the DPRK was received.
There were no news about the victims or material damage from the garbage. The government also stated that a special emergency response group will be created and various consultations with military authorities would be conducted to take special measures against Pyongyang balloons. "Our military is very serious about additional launches by North Korea of garbage balls.
It is extremely important that the Ministry of Defense and all the military be in a state of increased vigilance and operational discipline to react immediately to the departure South Korea. Reuters also wrote that in response to the launch of balloons with garbage, South Korea intends to start broadcasting on a loudspeaker on the border against North Korea. We will remind, on June 7 it was reported that the war of balloons between Asian countries continues.
