SEOUL — South Korea said Monday it would take 'decisive military action' if anyone is killed by the wave of trash-carrying balloons being launched across the border by North Korea.Pyongyang has sent more than 5,500 balloons carrying payloads of garbage since May, disrupting flights, causing fires, and even hitting government buildings in the South.It said the tactic is a response to activists in the South sending balloons carrying propaganda to the North.
'Our military is closely monitoring North Korean military and tracking the launch point of the balloons in real time,' the JCS' Lee said.The warning came hours after the latest balloon launch briefly disrupted flights at Incheon airport.Shortly after the North's launch of trash-filled balloons in May, Seoul suspended a military deal with Pyongyang and restarted propaganda broadcasts from loudspeakers along the border.
