Rubbish carried by a North Korean balloon has landed on South Korea’s presidential compound, authorities have said, in the second such incident in recent months.

South Korea’s presidential security service said in a statement on Thursday that a balloon sent from across the inter-Korean border dumped rubbish onto the compound in Seoul’s Yongsan district, but no dangerous items or materials were discovered.

South Korea’s Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo newspapers reported that the balloon contained propaganda leaflets ridiculing President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife.

The incident comes after Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, earlier this week claimed that authorities had discovered and removed “political motivational rubbish sent by the ROK scum”, referring to South Korea’s official name, the Republic of Korea.

“The reckless infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK by the ROK military gangsters is a hideous military provocation that can never be pardoned, Kim said, referring to North Korea’s official name, according to a state media report on Tuesday.

“Seoul will have to experience at firsthand so as to know properly how dangerous [of an] act it committed and how terrible and fatal the consequences it brought on itself are,” Kim said, according to a state media report on Tuesday.

Pyongyang has floated thousands of balloons carrying refuse and propaganda leaflets across the border since May in response to propaganda leaflet drops into the North by South Korean activists.

Thursday’s incident marks the second time a balloon has dumped refuse on the South Korean president’s office following a similar case in July, raising concerns about the vulnerability of key South Korean sites in the event of a North Korean attack.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
South Korea is the aggressor. Not long ago they were using military drones to drop propaganda leaflets in Pyongyang. This is a perfect response from North Korea.

This hostility will eventually leads to another devastating war in Asia

The current North Korean president Kim Jong Un and his south Korean counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol were not born during the Korea war that took place between 1950-1953

From war records, 37,000 Americans lost their lives during the Korean War, over 92,000 wounded and 8,000 went missing. South Korea sustained 1.3 million casualties

North Korean forces: at least half a million killed or wounded.

Chinese forces: over 180,000 killed and 380,000 wounded.

Total civilian deaths: 2–3 million

South Koreans: 990,968 total casualties
North Koreans: 1,550,000 total casualties

War doesn't bring anything good but devastation, the two countries were once together, they should settle whatever differences they have amicably now

This is nonsense from South Korea

US trying to open another front

BelloMasari:
. Imagine dumping feaces at aso rock? That will be nice

Dymaco:
South Korea is just weak. If they dump rubbish to your country, drop back rubbish to their country.

If North Korea test ballistic missile, test your own too. If north Korea shot missile, show them you have capabilities to decimate any missile fired around your country.
