North Korea Sends 600 More Trash Balloons Over South Korea
TL;DR
North Korea has announced it will stop sending balloons filled with trash over the border to South Korea but warned it would resume if anti-North Korean leaflets are sent from the South. This follows South Korea's strong condemnation and threats of "unendurable" measures, including potentially resuming loudspeaker propaganda. The trash balloons, which have caused significant disruption, were part of North Korea's retaliation against South Korean activists sending anti-Pyongyang materials across the border.
