SEOUL — South Korea accused North Korea on Wednesday of sending a large number of balloons across their heavily fortified border to drop objects including trash and excrement, calling the act base and dangerous.The military's explosives ordnance unit and chemical and biological warfare response team were deployed to inspect and collect the objects, and an alert was issued warning residents to keep away and report any sightings to authorities.
North Korea has reacted angrily to those balloons, which usually carry anti-Pyongyang leaflets, mini radios, food, USB memory sticks with K-pop music videos and dramas.On Sunday, North Korea's vice defense minister denounced balloons sent by South Korean activists, calling them "dirty things" and a "dangerous provocation," and warned that "mounds of waste-paper and filth" would be sent to the South in response.
