North Korea launched approximately 600 balloons filled with trash and excrement into South Korea overnight, prompting Seoul to issue emergency alerts and vow strong countermeasures. The trash-filled balloons, which began appearing on Saturday evening, are monitored by South Korea's military, with debris collected in northern provinces. Pyongyang defends the action as "gifts of sincerity" but South Korea denounces it as "low-class." The provocative move follows North Korea's campaign started earlier this week, retaliating against anti-DPRK leaflets sent by South Korean activists. The exchange highlights tensions between the neighboring nations despite recent diplomatic efforts.
