Paju, South Korea – 24 July 2024
1. Various of trash balloons from North Korea seen at South Korea border
STORYLINE:
Balloons carrying trash were seen released from North Korea at the South Korean border city of Paju on Wednesday.
Trash from at least one of them fell on the South Korean presidential compound Wednesday, raising worries about the security of key South Korean facilities from North Korean provocations.
The rubbish that fell on the ground at the compound in central Seoul contained no dangerous material and no one was hurt, South Korea’s presidential security service said in a statement.
But experts say South Korea needs to shoot incoming North Korean balloons at border areas next time, as it’s not clear whether North Korea would put in hazardous items in future campaigns.
North Korea’s latest balloon launches came days after South Korea boosted its frontline broadcasts of K-pop songs and propaganda messages across the rivals’ heavily armed border.
Their tit-for-tat Cold War-style campaigns are inflaming tensions, with the rivals threatening stronger steps and warning of grave consequences.
