Yesterday evening, there were reports that Pyongyang had sent over three hundred and ten other balloons filled with rubbish including waste paper and plastic across the border to the south. This came after earlier threats of “new reaction” which were made by Kim Jong’s sister as reported by Yonhap news agency referring to Seoul military.
According to the joint chiefs of staff, “The latest batch of waste-loaded balloons sent late Sunday contained scrap paper and plastic, with no toxic material detected so far,” adding that “no more balloons have been observed in the sky since early Monday morning.” It was a response due to South Korea’s loudspeaker broadcasts termed “psychological warfare” against North Korea.
Kim Jong Yo stated through KCNA news agency, “If the ROK simultaneously carries out the leaflet scattering and loudspeaker broadcasting provocation over the border, it will undoubtedly witness the new counteraction of the DPRK.”
By saying this psychological warfare’’, Kim’s Sister called on South Korea to “suffer a bitter embarrassment of picking up waste paper without rest and it will be its daily work”.
North Korea has recently been filling hundreds of balloons with items such as toilet papers and cigarettes for transportation down south. That is why North floated dozens of balloons containing pro-Pyongyang propaganda northwards, which South cannot legally stop.
