SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea has reported that North Korea has resumed the activity of flying balloons believed to be carrying trash towards the South. This action has raised tensions between the two neighboring countries once again.
The flying of these balloons by North Korea is seen as a provocative act by South Korea, as it not only violates agreements between the two nations but also poses environmental concerns for the South. The balloons are suspected to be carrying various types of waste, which could potentially harm the environment and public health in the South.
This recent development comes amidst already strained relations between the two Koreas. South Korea has expressed its concerns over North Korea's continued provocations and has called for restraint to avoid further escalation of tensions.
North Korea's decision to resume flying balloons towards the South has been met with condemnation from South Korean officials, who have urged North Korea to abide by agreements and refrain from actions that could destabilize the region.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation between North and South Korea, as any escalation of tensions could have broader implications for regional security and stability.
