North Korea Launches Trash Balloons at South Korea
TL;DR Summary
North Korea has begun sending large balloons filled with trash and "filth" across the border into South Korea, in what it claims is retaliation for South Korean activists' long-standing practice of sending anti-North Korea leaflets and other materials into the North. South Korea's military has detected over 150 such balloons and is analyzing the contents, while local governments have warned residents to avoid outdoor activities. North Korea's Kim Yo Jong defended the actions as "freedom of expression," comparing them to South Korea's psychological warfare tactics.
