SEOUL - North Korea has resumed sending balloons carrying trash over the border to South Korea , officials and news reports said on Sunday, a week after it vowed to continue if anti- North Korea leaflets are flown from the South.Dozens of balloons with trash attached have been found in Seoul and in areas near the border overnight and early on Sunday, after the South Korea n military said late on Saturday the North was again launching them.

The North Korean government has said the balloons were sent in retaliation to anti-North leaflets flown by South Korean activists as part of a propaganda campaign and launched hundreds of them starting late in May carrying trash and manure.On June 2, it said it would temporarily halt sending the balloons because 15 tons of trash it sent was probably enough to get the message across how "unpleasant" it was.
