North Korea drops another trash balloon on South Korea for the 25th time this year
North Korea has floated more trash-carrying balloons across the tense inter-Korean border, with at least one dumping refuse on South Korea's presidential compound for the first time, South Korean authorities have said.
The balloon that landed near President Yoon Suk-yeol's office in Yongsan, central Seoul did not contain any dangerous material or cause any injuries, the Presidential Security Service said in a statement.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff announced earlier that North Korea had launched more balloons toward its territory. Seoul city authorities asked residents to report the objects and avoid touching them.
This incident marks the 25th occurrence this year of North Korea floating trash balloons into South Korea and follows just three days after the previous instance.
