North Korea has initiated yet another balloon campaign to send propaganda and waste to South Korea just three days after the last incident.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced Monday morning via a text message to defense reporters, stating, “Considering the current wind direction, there is a possibility that the balloons could drift towards Gyeonggi Province and the capital region.”
The JCS urged the public to remain cautious, advising, “Citizens should be aware of any falling debris. If you encounter a balloon on the ground, please avoid touching it and report it immediately to the nearest military or police authority.”
This latest launch marks North Korea’s 25th balloon provocation since it began sending trash-filled balloons across the border on May 28.
On the same day, North Korea plans to convene its Supreme People’s Assembly, which serves a similar function to South Korea’s National Assembly, to amend its constitution by removing provisions related to unification and adding new clauses concerning territorial matters.
