Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, says her country is making good on a threat to 'scatter mounds of wastepaper and filth' - in response to leafleting campaigns by South Korean activists.
North Korea has launched more balloons carrying rubbish towards its southern neighbour, South Korea's military has said. Earlier this week, the government of Kim Jong Un flew hundreds of balloons filled with debris and manure in the direction of South Korea. Kim Yo Jong, the leader's sister, said on Wednesday that her country was making good on a threat to 'scatter mounds of wastepaper and filth'. It was in response to leafleting campaigns by South Korean activists, she added.
From Tuesday night into Wednesday, some 260 North Korean balloons were found in parts of South Korea. They were carrying various types of rubbish and manure but no chemical, biological or radioactive materials, the South Korean military said.
