North Korea launched a fresh wave of trash-filled balloons toward South Korea late on Saturday night, the ROK military announced, seemingly following through on a threat to deliver a hundred-fold response to defector-activists sending anti-regime leaflets across the border.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a press release at 11 p.m. KST on Saturday that it observed the suspected “filth balloons” floating in a southwest direction, moving eastward from the northern part of Gyeonggi province adjacent to the inter-Korean border.
