North Korea Halts Trash Balloons After South Korea's Protests
North Korea has agreed to stop sending trash-filled balloons into South Korea after the latter threatened "unbearable" retaliatory measures. The balloons were initially sent in response to South Korea's leaflet campaigns criticizing North Korean leaders. North Korea warned it would resume the balloon activity if South Korea restarts its leaflet campaigns. South Korea's potential retaliatory actions could include loudspeaker broadcasts criticizing North Korea's government and human rights record.
