North Korea sent approximately 20 trash balloons toward its southern neighbor, South Korea's military announced, revealing that the balloons were filled with propaganda leaflets.
According to the authorities, the leaflets contained criticism directed at South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and first lady Kim Keon-hee and were discovered at the presidential compound in Seoul.
Relations between the two countries deteriorated further following the incident involving drones that infiltrated North Korea's airspace and which Pyongyang said were sent by South Korea.
