International media have reported that at least one North Korean trash balloon landed on the grounds of the South Korean presidential palace.
According to the Associated Press, the balloon containing North Korean waste landed this morning, Wednesday, July 24, on the grounds of the South Korean presidential palace in Seoul.
The South Korean Presidential Security Service has confirmed that the balloon landed near the President’s office in Yongsan, central Seoul.
In a statement, the security service indicated that the North Korean trash balloon did not contain any hazardous materials and caused no damage.
It is reported that North Korea has sent additional trash balloons across the tense border between the two countries.
The deployment of trash balloons by North Korea and the distribution of propaganda leaflets by South Korea along the border have been seen as part of the escalating tensions between the two nations.
Reports indicate that North Korea has sent over 2,000 balloons across the border since May, while South Korea has resumed the distribution of propaganda leaflets and broadcasted music along the border after a six-year hiatus.
The balloons sent by North Korea typically contain waste items ranging from partially burnt cigarettes to discarded paper, used batteries, and compost. However, the South Korean Presidential Security Service has urged the public not to handle the waste from these balloons.
The recent incidents underscore the ongoing tensions and the unconventional methods used by both North and South Korea to exert psychological and political pressure.
