A balloon presumably sent by North Korea, is seen in a paddy field in Incheon, South Korea, on June 10, 2024
KOREAN PENINSULAR: Seoul says Pyongyang is again flying balloons toward the South which are likely carrying trash, adding to a bizarre psychological warfare campaign.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Saturday that the winds could carry the balloons to regions north of the capital.
Seoul City Hall and the Gyeonggi provincial government issued text alerts urging citizens to beware of objects dropping from the sky and report to the military or police if they spot any balloons.
