South Korea's military has warned people to avoid touching the balloons and report them to authorities.

North Korea is sending more balloons carrying rubbish across the heavily fortified southern border, South Korea’s military has said.

It comes just days after North Korea appeared to send at least 200 balloons carrying rubbish over the border in retaliation for propaganda leaflets sent from the south.

South Korea’s defence minister Shin Won-sik called it “unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour” while the military added it is examining the contents of the bags floated over the border by the balloons.

    I agree, either floating stuff into neighboring countries is fine or it’s not.

    ‘Oh we were sending illegal stuff into your country but it’s OK because we’re the good guys’ is something both sides would say so our media supporting one and deriding the other is silly - and yes they both say they’re sending good things and the enemy is sending bad things.

      Exactly my point lol. It’s funny how the ones agreeing with me in the comments get up votes but I get obliterated. 😆 Lots of redditors did migrate here after all, huh. 💀
