North Korea unleashed at least 150 trash-laden balloons across the inter-Korean border starting Tuesday night, in apparent anger over the ROK government not stopping local activists from sending anti-regime leaflets into the DPRK.

The move came just days after Pyongyang issued a stark warning that it would send “mounds of wastepaper and filth” into South Korea — a threat it has now made good on.

The waste-filled payloads reportedly even carried livestock feces and could pose public health risks to South Koreans, placing President Yoon Suk-yeol in a difficult position if launches continue in the days ahead
