North Korea recently sent more than 90 garbage-filled balloons to South Korea. The balloons, detected by the South Korean military, were launched following threats from Pyongyang in response to South Korean activists sending anti-regime propaganda.

South Korea's military has detected more than 90 balloons filled with trash and waste launched by North Korea. A action occurred after Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, threatened to respond to the sending of anti-regime propaganda by South Korean activists.

The trash balloons were detected in the border areas of Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces, as well as Seoul's Guro district and South Chungcheong province. According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, those that fell contained various types of trash.

Garbage balloons began to be detected on Tuesday night (28)

This action is seen as retaliation for the activities of South Korean groups sending anti-regime propaganda materials to North Korea. The situation increases tension between the two countries, which already have a history of conflicts and provocations.

The South Korean military is monitoring the situation and taking measures to collect and analyze the balloons and their contents. This is not the first time that North Korea has used balloons to send messages or items to South Korea, but the use of trash is new. The international community is following closely the consequences of this action, which reflects the continued instability and complex relations between the Koreas.
