North Korea uses balloons to scatter anti-Yoon propaganda leaflets over Seoul

Move marks first confirmation of DPRK leafleting in years and an escalation in its monthslong trash balloon campaign

North Korea used balloons to scatter “anti-South Korea leaflets” across Seoul on Thursday, authorities say, marking the first time the DPRK is known to have sent leaflet propaganda over the border in years.

The move appears to mark an escalation in Pyongyang’s monthslong trash balloon campaign, which has seen the launch of thousands of balloons carrying paper waste and even manure into South Korea since May but previously didn’t send political content.
