North Korea has resumed launching balloons filled with trash towards South Korea, with around 600 balloons detected since June 1. Seoul’s military is collecting the debris, which includes items like cigarette butts and plastic. Pyongyang’s action follows similar provocations earlier this week, prompting Seoul to warn of countermeasures. The balloons, landing in South Korea’s northern provinces, raise concerns about public safety. Despite past agreements to cease hostile acts, tensions persist over such activities. North Korea justifies its actions as retaliation for anti-Kim Jong Un propaganda.
