(Adnkronos) – More balloons with garbage and propaganda leaflets, launched from North Korea towards South Korea. And the ‘cargo’ of a balloon ends up in the presidential complex in Seoul with messages critical of President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee. This was reported by the South Korean agency Yonhap amid growing tensions.
“In the early hours of this morning, a North Korean balloon full of garbage exploded in the air, scattering garbage around the presidential complex,” confirmed the presidency’s security service, stating that the material did not pose a security threat and that the situation is being constantly monitored in coordination with the military leadership.
Already in July, a ‘North Korean’ balloon had ended up in the presidential complex, but – writes Yonhap – this is the first time that leaflets have been launched from North Korea with criticism explicitly addressed to the South Korean president and his wife. In recent months, South Korea has denounced the launch of thousands of balloons from Kim Jong Un’s North.
