North Korea sending rubbish-filled balloons to South Korea again: Seoul

Between Saturday and Sunday morning, around 330 "rubbish balloons" were released from North Korea, according to the General Staff in Seoul. More than 80 of them had landed on South Korean territory. The rest likely did not reach their target. North Korea's balloon actions are a reaction to similar activities by South Korean groups, which repeatedly send thousands of leaflets and other propaganda material across the border in huge gas balloons.
