Seoul: North Korea again sent trash-carrying balloons towards the South on Saturday, the South Korean military said, after anti-Pyongyang activists in the South said they have sent balloons with leaflets against leader Kim Jong Un.
"North Korea is again floating (suspected) balloons carrying trash towards the South," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, advising the public to refrain from touching the balloons if spotted and to report them to authorities.
The announcement came hours after Seoul's military said it was on alert for possibly more trash-carrying balloons arriving from North Korea, a potential response to the propaganda balloons sent this week by activists in the South.
The Seoul city government, as well as the Gyeonggi Province, also sent a similar text alert to residents on Saturday, warning about the balloons.
North Korea sent hundreds of balloons in two waves last week with bags of trash into the South, describing them as a response to anti-Pyongyang propaganda balloons sent the other way by South Korean activists.
