North Korea sends balloons filled with trash and suspected animal feces into South Korea, sparking outrage.
Photographs showing white balloons bearing garbage bags full of trash and excrement were widely shared by South Korean media.North Korea has sent balloons full of trash, toilet paper and suspected animal faeces into the South, local media reports said Wednesday, with Seoul’s military slamming Pyongyang for their “low class” actions.
“Citizens should refrain from outdoor activities, do not come into contact with any unknown objects, and report them to the nearest military base or police,” it said in a statement sent to AFP. Pyongyang has long been infuriated by the propaganda campaigns, possibly due to concerns that an influx of outside information in the tightly controlled society could pose a threat to the Kim regime.“Tit-for-tat action will be also taken against frequent scattering of leaflets and other rubbish by the ROK near border areas,” Kim Kang Il, a vice-minister of defence, said in a statement Sunday, using the acronym for South Korea’s official name.
“Also from witness statements that there was a ‘distinctive smell’ from the bag, it is likely they sent faeces, probably animal faeces, as well,” he added.
