North Korea has been sending balloons full of trash into South Korea in response to leaflets being sent onto their side of the DMZ.

Kim Jong Un's sister has confirmed that the country has been sending balloons full of trash into South Korea to make good on its recent threat to “scatter mounds of wastepaper and filth” into the south.The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un confirmed Wednesday that North Korea sent the balloons and attached trash sacks.

Koh Yu-hwan, an emeritus professor at Seoul’s Dongguk University, said North Korea likely determined that the balloon campaign is a more effective way to force South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's government to clamp down on the South’s civilian leafletting. In 2020, North Korea blew up an empty, South Korean-built liaison office on its territory in protest of South Korean civilian leafleting campaigns.North Korea is one of the world’s most secretive countries in the world, and foreign experts are keen on collecting any fragmentary information coming from the country.
