\nNorth Korea has resumed sending balloons carrying trash across the border into the South, Seoul\u2019s military said Sunday, in apparent response to the South restarting loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts.
The two Koreas have engaged in a tit-for-tat balloon campaign, with the North sending nearly 2,000 trash-carrying balloons southwards since May, saying it is retaliation for propaganda balloons launched by South Korean activists.
\u201cThe North is launching another batch of rubbish-carrying balloons,\u201d the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement on Sunday, noting they were flying towards the northern part of Gyeonggi.
\u201cPlease report them to the military or police and refrain from direct contact with the objects.\u201d
The latest batch of balloons comes three days after Seoul announced it had resumed loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts directed at North Korea.
Seoul warned it will broaden the scope of such broadcasts if the North persists in sending the trash-carrying balloons, describing them as \u201clow-class actions\u201d and noting that \u201call responsibility lies squarely with the North Korean military\u201d.<\/p>\n
