Despite recent inter-Korean tensions, a Christian NGO launched balloons containing bibles towards North Korea from a location adjacent to the border on Thursday evening.

The launch, attended by NK News, took place amid South Korean government efforts to crack down on activist groups involved in cross-border balloon launches after high-profile complaints carried in North Korean state media.
