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, it is disrespectful for both

    I can understand that the south would view it as spreading culture or “enlightening” as you mentioned, since the North is a locked down authoritarian country.

      I like how everyone agreeing with me gets up votes, but I get a million down votes, lmao.

      But yeah. Us non-North Koreans obviously favor what the South is doing more than the North, and North knows it’s full of shit and their propaganda won’t work so they just send garbage and shit. But still. Both sides should stop.
