South Korea has lashed out at North Korea’s resumption of trash-carrying balloon launches and threatened to restart anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts. On Monday night, North Korea floated huge balloons carrying plastic bags of waste papers across the border in its fifth such campaign since late May.

South Korea’s military said North Korea floated about 350 balloons in its latest campaign, and about 100 of them eventually landed in South Korean soil, mostly in Seoul and nearby areas. Seoul is about 40-50 kilometers away from the border. The military said the trash carried by the North Korean balloons were mostly papers and that no hazardous items were found.
South Korean leafleting campaigns by civilian activists, mostly North Korean defectors, include leaflets critical of North Korea’s human rights violations and USB sticks containing South Korean TV dramas, while the past South Korean border broadcasts included K-pop songs, weather forecasts and outside news. In a statement Friday, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, called them “human scum” and “disgusting defectors.
