SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says North Korea is again flying balloons toward the South that are likely to be carrying trash. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the balloons were moving southeast on Tuesday night. It’s North Korea’s sixth launch of balloons since late May. South Korea said North Korea floated trash-carrying balloons on Monday night across the border, but no major damage was reported. It asked the South Korean public not to touch any North Korean balloons that fall to the ground and to report them to police or military authorities.
