North Korea floats more rubbish-filled balloons to South Korea
bbc.com
North Korea is sending more balloons carrying rubbish across the heavily fortified southern border, South Korea's military has said.
It comes just days after North Korea appeared to send at least 200 balloons carrying rubbish over the border in retaliation for propaganda leaflets sent from the south.
South Korea's defence minister Shin Won-sik called it "unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour" while the military added it is examining the contents of the bags floated over the border by the balloons.

Leaflets in balloons are a bit different then shit and batteries.
Not just leaflets, but also music, music videos, snacks and cash.
Music, so dangerous!
You joke, but without KPop, our teens would run riot in the streets.
Not dangerous to the public, but it will be to the government.
If you've gone to great lengths to maintain an information bubble and keeping the country cut off from the outside world informationally, and if the government remaining intact relies on that...if the whole thing collapses, I suspect that the life expectancy of the North Korean leadership isn't too good.
You know I'm bad, I'm bad! 🎶
True. It's disrespect from both sides though, even though we outsiders consider only the north to be ridiculous. Are the South side trying to enlighten the North's people or something? What was the agenda there? Like, the larger agenda.
I agree, it is disrespectful for both
I can understand that the south would view it as spreading culture or "enlightening" as you mentioned, since the North is a locked down authoritarian country.
I like how everyone agreeing with me gets up votes, but I get a million down votes, lmao.
But yeah. Us non-North Koreans obviously favor what the South is doing more than the North, and North knows it's full of shit and their propaganda won't work so they just send garbage and shit. But still. Both sides should stop.
