Episode: North Korea launches balloons of filth into South Korea
Description: North Korea (MNN) — North Korea is using dirty tactics to poke at South Korea — literally, filthy.
This week, North Korea launched over 200 balloons into South Korea filled with trash, manure, and even human waste.
North Korea says it dispatched the polluted balloons in response to leaflet campaigns. Because the hermit nation prevents its citizens from having practically any contact with the outside world, private South Korean citizens and groups sometimes send leaflets by balloon into North Korea with humanitarian aid, encouraging messages, and Bibles.
