North Korea agrees to stop sending balloons with manure, trash to South Korea
Fox News
North Korea agreed to stop sending hundreds of balloons into South Korea. The balloons were said to be carrying manure, cigarette butts and other garbage.
Last week, North Korea flew hundreds of balloons with trash and manure toward South Korea, prompting the South’s military to mobilize chemical and explosive response teams to recover objects and debris in various parts of the country. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The balloon campaign came as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un urged his military scientists to overcome a failed satellite launch and continue developing space-based reconnaissance capabilities. He described those efforts as crucial for countering U.S. and South Korean military activities, state media said Wednesday.
