Hundreds of balloons floated over the border of North Korea into South Korea, filled with trash, batteries and propaganda leaflets. South Korea encouraged people to report the balloons to officials.
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea threatened Tuesday to restart anti-Pyongyang frontline propaganda broadcasts in the latest bout of Cold War-style campaigns between the rivals after North Korea resumed its trash-carrying balloon launches. On Monday night, North Korea floated huge balloons carrying plastic bags of rubbish across the border in its fifth such campaign since late May — an apparent response to South Korean activists flying political leaflets via balloons.
Balloon launches and loudspeaker broadcasts were psychological campaigns that the two Koreas specialized in during the Cold War. The rivals have agreed to halt such activities in recent years, but occasionally resumed them when animosities rekindled. North Korea is highly sensitive to South Korean border broadcasts and civilian leafleting campaigns, as it bans most of its 26 million people official access to foreign news.
