South Korean authorities have blamed North Korean 'trash balloons' for a forest fire near the inter-Korean border.
South Korea believes 'trash balloons' sent by North Korea may be to blame for a fire that broke out near the inter-Korean border, raising concerns over the potential dangers of Pyongyang's latest provocation.According to North Korea-focused website NK News, citing local officials, a forest fire erupted on Monday morning in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.The local fire department was able to contain the blaze within 20 minutes, and no casualties were reported as a result.
In late June, balloons which landed around Incheon Airport delayed flights for around three hours, as military authorities attempted to clear up the debris.A month later, waste carried by these balloons landed in the presidential compound of Yoon Suk Yeol, raising concerns about the vulnerability of the country's officials to Pyongyang's bombardment.
