North Korea launches another round of trash balloons toward South Korea

Latest launch comes after a North Korean individual defected across the Han River estuary west of Seoul

North Korea once again sent balloons across the inter-Korean border likely carrying trash and other debris, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) late Saturday. 

While activists have not publicly disclosed anti-DPRK leaflet launches in recent days, the South Korean military has continued regular loudspeaker operations since last month.
