North Korea sent more than 150 garbage balloons to South Korea for the first time – they fell in various places around the country.
North Korean officials say they will temporarily stop sending garbage and sewage by balloon to South Korea. AP reported this on Sunday, June 2, citing the North Korean agency Korean Central News Agency.
“We will temporarily suspend the act of dispersing waste paper abroad. This is due to the fact that our action is a thorough countermeasure,” Pyongyang said.
They warned that they were ready to send balloons filled with pus and paper to other countries in the South if Seoul sent any anti-North Korean postcards to the North.
“We gave South Koreans a real sense of how disgusting and labor-intensive it is to collect scattered paper waste,” the statement said.
North and South Korea have been known to use balloons in propaganda campaigns since the Korean War in the 1950s.
In addition to propaganda postcards, South Korean activists filled balloons launched toward the North with money, newspapers and books banned in the DPRK, and even Choco Pies, a sweet cookie also banned in the North. Korea.
It was earlier reported that North Korea launched more than 150 balloons filled with garbage and dirt across the inter-Korean border.
