North Korea has now started harassing its neighbour and enemy nation, South Korea, in strange ways. It is reported that balloons filled with garbage and excrement are being sent from North Korea to the states of South Korea. According to army officials, North Korea did such acts last week and has now started doing so again from Saturday.
The Defense Ministry has alerted many city residents, including Seoul, that such balloons may contain chemical weapons or any explosive material. Therefore, if everyone sees these balloons, then immediately inform the police about the matter.
The Defense Ministry of South Korea has not immediately commented on the number of balloons sent from North Korea. Yonhap news agency, citing unnamed military sources, said that officials found about 90 balloons in the capital, Seoul, and nearby Gyeonggi province by Saturday night. These balloons contained paper, plastic waste, and cigarette butts. Information about excrement and garbage in many balloons has also come to light.
